Origins…
When there was dust
Before dirt
Mist before water
Particles before mass
There was energy, collision,
and genesis
But we already know this
About the day everything
Collided and went boom
Came together and gestated and grew
The universe opened its womb and gave birth
Whether by seven or millions
What really knows for sure?
Except…
Maybe the first droplets of water…
Did it wonder too?
Looking into amber to ancients for clues
How it all happened
Searching for meaning
Why creation happens the way it does
Look up and down and in and out
And all around…
Poke and prod and peel

Why our existence?

In the empire of the sun…

To learn of the existence
of your reflection.
To hear a voice
you have only heard
in your mind before.
To see your inner self
in the eyes of another
is one thing.
And the difference in
knowing/recognizing it and
actually believing it
become very important.
Because to touch it is
something quite different.
Merging the spiritual and the
physical together.
That moment when you
REALLY feel it.
And the truth finds
it’s way inside you.
