Civilisation
and its many and various “Causes”
causes us to become “detached-from” –
even “remote-from”
Nature and The Natural World.

“What is this life
If full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare;
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And gaze- as long as sheep or cows.
A poor life this if full of care
We have no time to stand and stare.”

Our forebears also gave us such other ‘wistful’
and ‘artisticly-historical’
works-of-imagination :
“Who Killed Cock Robin ?”

There’s ‘wisdom’
and
“presence-of-the-whole”
‘Life-on-Earth-Mind’
in the sweet-silent-singing of the wren,
and also in the urgent screeching of the gull
and in the late-evening’s
black crow’s caw.
