Human

I am human I am not the beginning Nor the end of it. Evolution did not begin with me nor am I so arrogant As to presume that I, Human as I am, Will represent the final flowering, The culmination of creation. I am human. I was not created so. Though it is so written. Creation is not so constrained by written words. I am an inheritor of the genes of my ancestors and some of them were human too. I am a brush stroke among many in creation’s Masterpiece, and not its canvas or its frame. I am human, Descendant of the first life to flower In this small part of creation's garden. I am not alone in having words I am not alone in having love I am not alone in knowing creation. I am simply human. Kim Helen James 26/2/2019

Thank you, Maureen. We need to remember we are not that special. Sometimes. ;)
