Time traveller

I am now a human being, whatever that may be.
I speak for us who move and think and feel and whom time consumes.
I speak as an individual unique in a universe beyond my understanding.
I speak for humankind.

I am hemmed in by limitations of sense and mind and body,
of place and time and circumstances,
some of which I know but most of which I do not.

I am like a being journeying through a forest,
aware of occasional glints of light overhead,
with recollections of the long trail I have already travelled,
and I am conscious of the wonder spaces ahead.

I want to see more clearly where I have been
and where I am going.
And above all,
I want to know why I am where I am and
why I am travelling at all.

Take care and be well.
