About This Poem

I CONTEMPLATED

I CONTEMPLATED 


I contemplated reality
As a spectator 
And
Found no answers

I contemplated reality
As a part of it
And 
Stumbled on possibilities  

I contemplated reality  
As a member of it
And 
Faced understanding 

I contemplated reality  
As an agent of it 
And
Discovered the path to
TRUTH!

    Wonderful Epigram my dear good man! BTW I am the publisher of our quarterly newsletter and am including your very gracious tribute to Canada you sent in response to my poem "My Beloved Land". It will appear in April edition. I hope you don't mind... it needed to be shared! Cheers Jack

    Jack, it will be an honour for me to include my comment. It is the least of things I can do for my adaptive country: Canada!
