THE WAY
THE WAY
Each must make its own way out of its "womb" into life, aided by forces unknown .
Each must make its own way through life, aided by forces known and unknown .
Each must makes its own way from "life" back into the domain of death, aided by forces unknown.
At every step, at every stage, of any way that we have come here to live, or to go away from here, those same unknown forces that brought us here, enabled us here, surely take us away from here. For we all go: from non-life to life to non-life.
We "know" all thoughts obscurely . We know our capabilities gradually. We know parents, family kin, early, and earth, universal kin, eventually.
We know so little about the so little that we think we know that indeed and in fact we know nothing about nothing compared to, contrasted with, what surely came before, and what probably lies beyond this life.
This way is governed by unknown forces who, or which, permitted the intermit of life to cohabit, briefly, a place, a plane of infinite space-time for humans finally to inhabit at last.
