The meaning of existence?
In Loving Memory of:
Malathi Karuven Sandhu (1939-2003)
~Electron Self~
All is illusion?
We are but electrons knocking about in space
Temporarily seized by earth’s gravitational pull
Taking on human form for reasons unknowable
Living lottery lives of random chance
Subject to the laws of attraction and repulsion
Each mind, body, soul to starve or thrive
To know beauty and hate as destiny ordains
Naturally wired for pure sensual ecstasy
Short circuited by humanity’s ignorance and cruelty
Withered souls cast away like sand in the cosmic wind
Our reborn electron self free once more
To embrace boundless space.

Carolyn, your tribute "In Loving Memory of Malathi" touched me deeply. Both you and I had the privilege to know Malathi, i.e., to share with her and be blessed by her caring. In the "Electron Self," despite it may be true that "all is illusion," you have given a significant and beautiful description of the human being as you acknowledged, "We are but electrons knocking about in space
Temporary seized by earth's gravitational pull." So true! And as you observed in your closing lines, "Our reborn electron self free once more
To embrace boundless space" I sense that in that "boundless space" the electron with its negative charge will unite with the potron with its positive charge which numerically equals the electron. And in that complementariness there will be something more than an illusion; something that John Keats envisioned when he said, "A thing of beauty is a joy forever. Thank you for this soul production.
A unique perspective about the reality of existence, the meaning of life, the true impact of relationships between human beings and all life as well as the spirit world, and the impact that everyone makes on the universe. (Available in Print or as an

I have enjoyed a profound reading from a grandiloquent philosophical poem.
