To Know Thy Self

To know Thy Self is to know a universe: I peel back the onion of me… tears are only a surface of my journey; for there is sweetness enough to enhance any dish; In fact, each of us is a banquet of discovery – awaiting the chef, our nature that of a culinary soul, to assemble and toss, fresh from the garden of God’s greening –

Each of us embodies an entire universe. So pleased this one got you thinking. What the heck, if I'm entirely bunkers it's fun anyway to speculate. Have a great evening my friend!

Fascinating write: Never thought of myself this way... Maybe afraid to peel the layers. Who knows/knew? Thanks, Joe! :) gw

I really feel, that we are only beginning to know man's true place in the universe, each of us important as the whole. Blessings my friend!!
