In these reflections, the poet perceives with great clarity that every entity on this planet, from the smallest microorganism to the largest mountain, possesses an equal entitlement to thrive, flourish, and discover its unique essence. This profound understanding mirrors the lives of both humans and flowers, emphasizing the intricate journey of unfolding and self-discovery that takes place within the broader context of our societal fabric. The Poet aspires to transcend not only the mere surface behaviors of humanity but also to unearth the profound wisdom of the natural world, engaging in a deeply felt poetic expression that captures the essence of life itself—a beautiful fusion of carefully crafted words and the untamed spirit of the wild that courses through all living beings. He finds exhilaration in the way poetry reveals the authentic experiences of the poet and their genuine, profound connections to the environment that surrounds them. This collection, "Wild Sacred Seeds and Other Poems", underscores a deep ecological awareness and the realization of our shared existence within the human collective. It offers a heightened sense of responsibility and connection to the ecological sphere that sustains us. The poet acknowledges that humans are not merely separated entities but illustrates how they often create dangerous divides from the rest of nature. Through these verses, the poet aims to plant the seeds of understanding that bloom when we learn to see beyond isolated, competitive egos, recognizing our kinship with the wild and all living beings, ultimately culminating in a deeper, shared identity that encompasses both humanity and the non-human world.
