A Certain Amount

Of detachment

Is required to be human

In an inhumane world

An excessive quantity is

Necessary to connect

With all of humanity

On a molecular

Likewise, spiritual level

That no being

Or anything else is

Outside of one’s self




While not provably proveable

It is logically proveable

Everyone is riding on the same sphere

Breathing from the same available oxygen

Experiencing the same sun and moon

Regardless of how all came into being

From cosmic consciousness or

Imaginings from infinite infinity or

Beliefs in a benign and beneficial being or

Designed by a devilish deity

Pick your suspicion, nothing is proveable

Take away the books, lessons, indoctrinations

Close your eyes, slow your breathing, think

How have I come to be here, in this form

With abilities to see, hear, taste, smell, touch

Experience experiences for experiences sake

Read the ramblings of a random ranting blog

That starts off about certain detachments

Then closes involving complete connections




I wish I knew too, I do not

I just come up with a title for a concept,

A vague direction and like that old

Telephone book advertisement catchphrase

I let my fingers do the walking

When they get tired and rest

I look up to see where they’ve been

Find myself intrigued and amused

Then, with a certain amount of detachment

Make a few edits, then schedule to post

I am moving forward. “
