Life is a Metaphor

Saturday afternoon wonderings...

The Africans of ancient time

Spoke of the nature of the human being

They described it as a seed innately sublime

Filled with potential in need of freeing

And in order for it to skyward climb

It required earth's nurture lovingly seeing

The wise ones of ancient India

Described the world in which we live

As the body of the first man, Perusha

With all things that life does give

Components of the unifying energy, Brahma

Thus we are all parts of one existence so massive

Science shows us the shape of bronchi

The vessels which carry air to our lungs and body

They resemble the shape of trees so uncannily

No coincidence that earth's air exchange organ is a tree

Open your eyes and your heart and you will learn to see

Life is a metaphor

All things representing all things

All things shedding wisdom on the nature of all things

Accept this truth and allow it nurture you and relish the ecstasy it brings

[The They]

The pattern pervades
From sky to oceans and earth
Do not close your eyes

Fantastic
