When I experience these days
An emptiness in the heart
A sorrow or a loss
The missing of a friend
A loneliness of some sort
On an evening such as this
I tell myself
That is God letting me know
What it means to be human,
Me who have had my head
Far too much buried
In the depths of philosophy,
And yet in understanding humanity
I understand not the why and wherefore
Of why we humans are like this
Though there are some theories
That try and explain these things
And when I look into these experiences
With an idle curiosity of wonder
Without putting a name and label on them
And not seeking any resolution
I experience some unexplainable oneness
With everything
That there is, was and will be.
Know Thyself
