I’m trying hard to remember
why I’m here
and then I remember
there is no reason…
life begets life,
and here I am.
How many countless resources
have been used
from the dawn of time
down the line of all my ancestors
to one day bring me into being?
And now I’m awestruck–
the crazy luck of being here
with no reason,
just life living through me,
begetting more life.
