-- Impasse --

John Herlihy

 

To do,

He knew not what.

To go,

He knew not whither.

 

To seek,

He could not dare.

To find,

He knew not where.

 

To look,

He could not see.

To listen,

He could not hear.

 

To smell,

He could not breathe.

To touch,

He could not feel.

 

To start,

He knew not when.

To stop,

He knew not how.

 

In this world,

We face impasse bizarre.

We know not,

who we really are.

THIS IS SO TRUE! IT CERTAINLY SUPPORTS MY ACKNOWLEGMENT; WE WHO KNOW SO LITTLE ABOUT OURSELVES, CAN BE OVERJOYED AT THE FACT THAT THERE IS 'SOMEONE' WHO...KNOWS US...COMPLETELY! LOVED IT! LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

For so many of us, very true. Just go through life with all of its changes, making little of it except to do what others around them are doing. Some call that "freedom" when they are tied to a very strict culture that they are taught from birth as the right way to go.

In order to get beyond that kind of thinking, one must totally reeducate oneself into the idea that everything is changing and you know what you know of a not be what is.
