of non-being
and wash me away!
How long will I walk
up and down
the shore in fear?

How brave a ladybug must be! Each drop of rain is big as she. Can you imagine what you’d do, If raindrops fell as big as you?

The seeds that twirl down from maple trees every spring can fly as far as a mile,
with each wing-shaped seed spinning like a whirligig on the air. greenwavelength
I love the peacefulness in this!
