this asks so many valid questions, robert, and it asks us, almost begs us, to be present. can we ever answer it sufficiently enough? can we ever be sufficiently present?
the whole thing just begs as you say to be aware enough in ourselves and toward each other. being sufficiently present sadly is a goal and not a norm. thank you.
I love the simplicity of thoughts and deeds in your poem. However, there is more to this than meets the eye..... if we ever wake up. Great post. Thanks for sharing. =D
