Something important

Body is a ship
A vessel 
For a consciousness 
So vast
Has anyone  seen 
The limit

How is this possible
And how is the limitless 
Contained inside this ship
It isn’t
It goes beyond
And beyond 
And beyond

There is so much to see
So much to feel
So many vibrations 
Dimensions 
To experience 

What is the magic 
Of my human body
This ship
This vessel
And why 
Do I choose 
To be here 
In it

This is not meant to be an esoteric, cutesy poem but is something that I think about on occasion. I don’t think about it everyday and what brings the topic to mind is not always the same. Do you remember that old story about the donkey and the whip or carrot (if not, ask me sometime)?

The question, why am I here, has been in human consciousness forever, it seems. Everyday I have the opportunity/ability to answer. Sometimes all I see is the whip and the carrot. In my best moments I live the answer.
