I think
The kernel
Of a just-to-be-eaten
Seed of a sunflower
Holds more truth within it
Than many religions, decisions,
Democracies, degradations, cruelty,
Kingship, power, torture.. throb… I don’t

Understand why my heart still beats.

Because you're alive. Celebrate that while you eat that kernel, provided for your nourishment. Much to ponder here on your search for enlightenment.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
