How terrible, if we’ve passed
passed through all this
and haven’t experienced it.
There was nothing else but this.
Our stories and our beliefs
were the illusions.

Let me place the dream before you….
Imagine the world we might have
within a balance with the biosphere.
Governments elected by educated populations
to govern by the will of the people.
Wealth and the opportunities spread by intent
fairly across all people; each with enough.
Our deepest goal to maintain the biospheric balance;
and everything else naturally following.
Constraints on our growth and on our freedoms surely;
but only that we not breach the balance.
Progressing still, within the limits,
and developing an ever clearer intent.
An intent to live compatibly within the biosphere
and to slowly assimilate our possibilities there.
Nature all around us, still flourishing,
diversity unfolding; beneath our beneficent gaze.
Thousands of years passing and we deepening here;
amid deep abundance and missions to the stars.
There is nothing to prevent this future
but our own reluctance to transcend our biological imperatives.
