Lessons from Nature #1901

Lessons from Nature In nature's realm, where wild things roam, A donkey's strength, an elk herd's home, They teach us truths, so pure and bright, Of balance, harmony, and light. The donkey, steadfast, sure, and strong, Navigates the paths so long, With resilience carved in every stride, A lesson in how to bide. Elk herd moves in graceful dance, In unity, they find their chance, To guard each other, young and old, In mutual support, so bold. Their lives in balance, nature's way, Taking not more than they need each day, Sustainable in their forest glade, A harmony that doesn't fade. In their world, no chaos reigns, No needless harm, no selfish gains, They live as one, a symphony, Of adaptability and harmony. Oh, how we humans, with our strife, Can learn from this, to better life, To adapt, support, and live as one, In balance, till our days are done. So let us strive, in hearts and deeds, To follow nature, meet our needs, With mutual support and care, Creating harmony, everywhere. In unity and strength combined, A better world, for all to find, Lessons from the wild and free, A call to live in harmony. -Steven G. Lee (June 23, 2024)
