Like paper I can be torn into pieces.
Mortal kindling for consumerism’s fire.
Yet as I burn, my influence releases,
changing the combustion of the World pyre.
By design, my transformation increases,
revealing my spirit that does not expire.
Will my sparks join others in murmuration,
to inspire GAIA’s future generations?
Design Sparks (13/12/2024) in Design Shifts, a poetic journey through post-normal times.
Perhaps I was unconsciously inspired by Seth Godin’s post on the 11 December 2024: “How many sparks?”. It is also about acknowledging my “Library Within” and passing on that wisdom to future generations, to help shift out of a materialist, consumerist world.
