“timeless ”
there are these fertile unanswered questions
like:
where did i come from before i was born
what happens when we die?
what is the meaning of life?
children still ask these questions without fear,
startling adults back into instant humility
so what then about these rich, timeless questions?
what are our current best views on them,
our own working theories?
can we live with not knowing,
yet still caring deeply
for these questions
in our own way and style
with honesty and tenderness
which may be
the very antidote
to our loneliness
. . . let’s reconnect
to the fearless questioning of childhood
and warm our soul in contemplation,
keeping company
with these abiding questions
“let’s reconnect”
