The
World.
It
spins energetically, it thrives, it thinks, it hurts.
But
we don't notice.
It
laughs, it cries, it jests, it questions.
But
we don't notice.
Why
is it here? Why does it ponder, play, and feel?
We
don't care. We are too busy.
What
keeps our attention?
What
are we after that keeps us from pondering our existence?
We
don't know. All we know is we want it and are going to get it
no matter what.
It is
a struggle – a race against time, a war against space.
It is
only I, my enemies, and my goals. I know of nothing else.
Are we not blinding ourselves?
Is it so ridiculous to think we are each part of a greater
story,
A
story much broader than our private realities dared allow?
Perhaps
it's time to stop lying to ourselves,
Perhaps
it's time to embrace the existence we keep running from,
And
be what we were created to be,
More
than hungry beasts,
More
than indifferent apes,
But
children of the God whose image we bear,
Creations
of the Creator who brought about this phenomenon,
This
mysterious, wondrous phenomenon we call
Planet Earth.
