I claim my true value as now.
I have done the work
I toiled for days
High among the branches
And my peers
Turning the poison air
To pure
Keeping the earth cool.
But I claim that what I am now
Still, at rest, silent,
always changing
This is my shinning moment
Joined with all the moments
Those behind
And those to come
I am of the value
That is appropriate
For this moment.
The whole of existence
Listen to nature it will tell you what you need to know.
One of my spiritual guides in life is Ernest Thompson Seton. He is the creator of the American Boy Scouting program as well as an author, painter and conservationist. His dream for the American Scouting program was unfortunately over taken in the early part of the last century by the American Military Machine of the first world war and it has never recoverd.
