Mount Olympus

 I am always saying we are one and I know it sounds hippie-ish, but I truly believe it.

Our world is a giant terrarium, carefully balanced to support life and evolve. 

All living creatures eat, walk, breathe, take up space.  All living plants do the equivalent of the same.  Even non living things take up space, erode, collect and sometimes move, or shift.

Our lives slip around and around the wheels and cogs of this giant Eco-clockwork with a precision unfathomable to man.

The whole world is a catalyst, touching me, eliciting responses from me, changing me with every breath, and thought, but I am the ultimate conductor.

Aware that I have the choice of responding in a million different ways, I need to become a conservator of light, choosing how I react and feel, carefully responding, remembering the responsibility that comes with being made in a god-like image, because I am much more powerful than I might think.

Mount Olympus is more than a myth.  It is a way.  It is here and now.
