Poems by Katarina Majerhold, part 2.1/24/2020 Ode To the Nature what men have done to you?! Trucks and trains loaded with heavy weights, oil wells on land and on the sea that drill deep into your soft tissues, dredgers boring your surface, miners shattering your core, cutting your veins and stripping naked your heart without your consent night and day. People, rushing all the time, are not willing to stop and look around to notice myriad tiny wonderful details that make their living space day and night. They are so entangled into themselves, into their daily small events they forget to see birds flying over their heads, petals whirling in the air, roses next to the fences they are walking by, stars in the night sky, plankton in the sea, stein bocks in the mountains, snakes in the meadows and swans or algs in the lakes. People are not aware or better never think that even air we breath needed millions of years of small beings to give their lives – their gifts to all of us so we can breathe now and thus be alive. And how often do people take time to observe and notice other animals or plants, their way of life, their „language“ and how they „conceptualize“ the nature. People do go more often to the nature now but do they go to learn, to gain some new insights about the nature or appreciate her more or do they go to gain again something only for themselves – to relax, to get peace from all the crowd and city noise? It is time for people to see the nature for itself - to shut the mouth up and to listen to her way of being through singing of the birds, through rustle of tree leaves, through sounds of the dolphins, through whizzing of the rattle snake, through breathe of the universe. And when you are able to see and feel all these you are aware of the miracle of life and know how to appreciate to be alive with all the myriad of other beings and things here and now even is it if for one day for what is a difference to be alive one day or 200 years as some trees are - perhaps their memory is bigger but the experience of being alive is every second the same miracle of everything that is for everyone (for it could not exist at all). Thus it is time for people to ask themselves how can we contribute to the well-being of the nature what we can give (back) to you - to the well of being for you - instead of taking from you! Ode to Cosmos The notion of cosmos and everything that represents has been always close to me, I have always had a special feeling, emotion, yearning for everything cosmical. Even more, think this yearning is universal, dwelling in everyone and everything that exists. I have always had a connection with cosmos - does this sound pretentious? I hope not and it's not meant so - and cosmos sounds and seems so big, vast... and it is and yet it feels so close and „small“ that I could almost put it inside my heart and mind and happily carry it around. I know that I'm only a tiny, insignificant particle of it, (aware that originally made from a star-like dust components) yet even this tiny part carries a cosmical spark of everything inside her heart - a sign of everything connected to everyone and everything. ---- Black and white, white and black is not grey and mysteriously gray like myst and not only black, white and gray all that is in between – is called colours. ------ After 11 years of solitude without any friends I survived. After 11 years of solitude without love and girlfriend I survived. Those were the years of emptiness, hermitage and frostiness, vastness of cosmic silence and when everything seemed upside down. I did not ask for celibacy yet I got to experience it. I did not ask for violence yet I got to experience it. I did not ask for shortage yet I got to experience it. I did not ask for disrespect yet I got to experience it. I did not ask for exploitation yet I got to experience it. I did not ask for prejudices and stereotypes yet I got to experience it. I did not ask for the connections with people who disrespect and exploit other people and beings yet I got to experience it. And then years of oblivion, that I should ignore what happened. Have can I forget? You should, I was told, for your sake and pretend we all entered into new area of great harmony while people from FB wrote to me 'ascenscion, ascenion'. For fuck sake, what and for who is that ascension?!
