Tranquility Alone

Majestic splendor before me

How natural nature be

Being what is because it is

Ponder, twist, break, dissect, reassemble

The basic questions be the same

Why?

How?

We make up the frustrating questions

so we can make them disappear

and remove the fog from the lens

how basic

how simple

it is that it is

I am what I am

together we are of the same ingredients

people stuff

nature stuff

star stuff

stuff is stuff

and begets more stuff

Star stuff in one form

arranges to form people stuff

“consciousness”

yes consciousness unites the fold of stuff

for it is here that the stuff can . . .

observe

see

hear

taste

smell

feel

the stuff of which is a part

This missing link is what we are living.

It is no wonder we can’t find it
