Five seas
Seven continents
Countless countries
And seven billion faces
Of all the possibilities
You and I meet!
Short acquaintances
Long friendships
Pleasant affairs
Awkward collisions
Personal or political
Social or historical
The issues are many
And repeated generationally
Attracting and repelling
Sometimes reoccurring
Encounters test and teach
But are we ready for the learning
For the snapshot
Of our existence
What will we gain
What legacy will be changed
Whether we live
Loud and large
Or quiet and small
One thing is for sure
As we came
We shall leave
So as we meet
Let’s share a seed
The seed of kindness
With a listening ear
A supportive hand
And a wish for good stewardship
Hence, may we deserve to live
Upon this ‘pale blue dot’
And on exiting
Leave it the same if not a speck better

Wow! I love this. poetically profound with a principle to live by. As we came we shall leave here! So let’s share a seed of kindness. I truly appreciate this and you have planted a seed worth watering!

I make reference to what has been coined by Carl Sagan
Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space is a 1994 book by the astronomer Carl Sagan. It is the sequel to Cosmos and was inspired by the famous 1990 Pale Blue Dot photograph, for which Sagan provides a poignant description.
