A few questions to ask about being normal or natural.

Natural or Normal


Is it natural?

Is it normal?

What are those things?


Is “natural” specifically and certainly 

Something that exists without modification? 

Or is it natural what is normal in the environment?

Are our environments natural?

A house, a car, a job...

School, your friends, your pets…

Your dreams, your fears, your outfits…

Popular music, mankind’s leaders, human’s issues…


Is nature as simple as the Earth and its components? 

Is it the seen and unseen forces of life that surrounds us everyday?

Or is it what manifests in that life; things that can be made?
Is art natural or is it normal?

Is it artful to be normal or natural?

Isn't being normal a social figment of imagination? 


So then, what is natural?

Naturally normal for humans to reproduce?

Technology, artwork, children...

Or, naturally normal for humans to destroy…

The Earth, our dreams, the future…

Is it possible for nature to be normal?


Has normality been normalized?  

Has being unique really become such a grand trait?

If we are all different, isn't being unique...normal?
Or is it natural?


Is it natural to feel the energy waves of another living entity?

If it's natural then it would be normal..

Meaning people would be akin to experiencing it.

But it's abnormal in society when one expresses this experience.

Although energy and its frequencies are natural. 

If expression is normal then receiving expression is as well

Is empathy natural..or normal?

Or worse, abnormal?


Is it natural to have intelligence

Is it normal not to?

Are we expected as a whole to have a quinch for intellectual growth?

Is it normal to have an average understanding of our daily environment?


Is the law of majority rules natural?

Or is it normal?

Is it abnormal to be natural?

African curls unmodified bouncing atop the head in all its naturalness while attending a normal place of business...

That was viewed as abnormal less than 50 years ago.


How many of us have embraced the morning sunrise 

with fully bare skin and feet submerged into the grass

allowing your toes to play in the soft soil 

while breathing in toxin free air 

before eating a living breakfast straight 

from the branches of a tree

greeting your neighbor with a love-filled smile? 

Is that natural? 

Why wouldn’t it be? Why couldn’t it be?

Why is it a crime?

Is it normal to criminalize humanity’s natural interactions with the environment?


Is it abnormal to be happy without cause or stimulant? 

Are children the only humans excused to have that kind of joy?

Is it normal to be unhappy or is it natural as you age?

Is it natural to subconsciously forget how to control your breathing?

Is it normal to stress?


Is it natural to experience stress and depression as a result in lack of funds?

Is it normal to be rich or poor?

Is it natural to feel disconnected to strangers with no sense of understanding?

Is it normal to treat other humans as aliens in your social environment? 

Is it abnormal to see yourself in another human, as we are all the same race?


Isn’t it naturally normal to ask questions there are no answers to?

Or is it abnormally unnatural to indulge into the depths of the universe?
