There is something magical
about changing seasons
the cool leading to cold.
The Northern Hemisphere
bending away in fall, then bowing
toward the sun in the spring.
Witness the vast climate change
in such a slight difference
in distance to our star.
How blessed we are to
be in this just right distance
from a stable burning star.
To experience an abundance
of life, to have the ability
to understand this reality.
Or may this be a random event,
as we find ourselves on a planet
wobbling a few degrees.
To also enjoy the fortune of
an android strike, which
gave the planet to us mammals.
And the vast time to develop
as sentient beings who can
understand how this all can be.
A blessing or an accident
matters not so much, but
that we appreciate our gift.
We appreciate the delicate
just right conditions for us
to witnessed the seasons.
We should take care of
such a wondrous gift, thinking
about it a little each day.
As we enjoy our seasons,
our blessings, our just
right gift of life.
