Regard Poem by Harley White

The poem is a rondeau… Some sources of inspiration were the following… "The way we see the world shapes the way we treat it. If a mountain is a deity, not a pile of ore; if a river is one of the veins of the land, not potential irrigation water; if a forest is a sacred grove, not timber; if other species are biological kin, not resources; or if the planet is our mother, not an opportunity -- then we will treat each other with greater respect. Thus is the challenge, to look at the world from a different perspective." ~ David Suzuki (born March 24,1936) Image: Public Domain free image: Moon, stars, nature...
