no history

in the age when life on earth was full,
no one paid attention to worthy men,
nor did they single out the man of ability.

rulers were simply the highest branches on the tree,
and the people were like deer in the woods.

they were honest and righteous without realizing
that they were doing their duty.
they loved each other and did not know
that this was love of neighbor.
they deceived no one yet they did not know
that they were people to be trusted.
they were reliable and did not know
that this was good faith.
they lived freely together - giving and taking,
and did not know that they were generous.
for these reasons their deeds have not been narrated.
they made no history.

a time of reflection..
moon in water
re-dux/re-view our actions..
simply behaving simply
re-fining our humane-ness
polishing our sacred-ness
