The world is a beautiful place
With stars bigger than imaginable
Dotting the night sky
Small in the distance so far away
And a long cloud fading in the wind
Over a mountain formed in ancient
volcanic upheaval
With trees and bushes
And flowers like all those
astral sparkles
In the heavens soaring above
All the while birds, bugs and bears
People and more
Make their way
In a world that can be
So beautiful
Mount Morrison at night
Flowers from this morning

The world is a beautiful place.
Thanks for that. Something came down today that made me forget. One mustn't forget.

Donini: . . . and a destroyer...us.
The destroyer is Kali. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali
Anything that comes into being must also pass into non-being. There cannot be birth without death. The human species is instrumental. (You have some attachments.)

The human species, relative to other species, is a net destroyer....that also goes for the inorganic world.
Hopefully, eons from now long after our passing the world will have healed itself.
