Balance
Navigating
by stars,
one ball
buried,
another
gathering,
the dung
beetle
straight-lines,
maintains
position,
forever
looking forward
and up.
“Balance” first appeared here in February 2016, and is included in my micro-chapbook Only This, available for free download from Origami Poems Project.

Nice rhythm behind your voice!
Dung beetle holds focus on essentials, a good role model for our times.

We could learn much from dung beetles!

It’s crazy, isn’t it, to know that this tiny creature uses the Milky Way. Perhaps I need to give it a try. Right now, all my navigational aids are muddled.

Mother Nature is fascinating! My navigational aids are off kilter as well. I imagine they’ll be that way for a while.
