142. the great wall
snaking along the northern asian mountains
the great wall of china still stands
a testimony to the lack of unity in mankind
a reminder that we must all get past history
past our differences, shed all fear
that biggest of illusions, that impedes us
from remembering that the only reality is love
that we are all part of one loving one
the great monument is not the stones, the parapets, the steps
it is the majestic mountain range
undulating the surface of the earth as far as my eyes can see
that display of nature’s magnificence is greatness, beauty, awe
humbled by the great mother
gratitude for life fills my soul
