Inventing, designing,
building, producing
consuming.
Knowing more and more
but often inside
unfulfilled and empty.
With all our progress
there is still no end
to destruction in sight
We don’t find the way
back to us, as we were
instead, we drift
further and further away.
Thank you for this important question mark and well written message. It makes me think of the word, “developer” for those people (in my experience they are usually led by men) who are responsible for cutting down trees, destroying nature, and building condos or superstores on the land. I hope and pray that the pockets of nature and sanity grow stronger so we can find our way back to the garden.
This is serious Bridget. Like it very much
Deep. 💗
It is all in the name of progress but progress is not always the best route forward. A very strong poem Bridget!
Consuming too much, destroying too much, drifting too much!
Yep!
So true!
I feel like this much of the time, tho’ the picture you chose is much prettier than what humans are doing in my neighborhood, town, county …
Wow. This is so powerful
