Go live with Nature, you may yet find the meaning of life

Mural and Poem Dr Abe V Rotor


If you've been in all your life living on the fast lane, trying to beat everyone,
though you know you'll never win this nameless race;


If you've been residing in a high rise building, taller than everything around, 
and touching the clouds, and you know your feet is off the ground;

If you've been missing the passing of seasons, the wonders that each brings,

though you keep the holidays and weekends;

If you've been constantly bothered by ailments that medicine can only relieve,

and not cure, and doctors can only advise;

If you've lost contact with your roots through the years of searching for fame,

wedging farther your connection, feeling like an  a orphan;

If you've succeeded in your career, rising to the top to the awe and admiration 

of your colleagues, yet deep inside is a feeling of emptiness;

If you've reached retirement after all the years of work and its responsibilities, 

but trapped in a dull, prosaic life of boredom;

If you've lost your loved ones, alone you gather the pieces of a happy memories,

nostalgic they are the rest of your life;

If you've been a good and loving guardian to your own children and other children, 

and they call you dad or lolo, and feeling being young again;

Get out of your confine, find a place in nature, live with her beauty and bounty,
her people and community, you may yet find the meaning of life. ~
