The Most Authentic Life
The man lives with what they give him,
being one of those needy people
who can't construct his own
or even select from a much broader range
of things to be.
The man is awed
when he gets the signal to be awed,
when he receives signals about
enormity of this and that
his eyes should be disbelieved.
The signals might say
"this dwarfs you";
or could say, "this is beyond you,"
or that "the beauty here will humble you."
It will.
