Notes About The Poem
In the write below i consider.? And know thete Is God..Though we are at times so uncertain.? And at others so convinced.' God who can alter All..Yet He changes not !

What am I ,where am i going'

Who and what.? Are words more relevant.?
Spirit in flesh..Fears foibles desires and
A realm of intentions.' Veering off occasionally, of the better path.' Could
Have been me.? I happened i saw it! The
Rain came twice against the forecasts ( in January ) in L A and in 
Victoria..The fires died, I got up the next
Day and tripped over.' Banged my nose
Had to wipe my eyes.' Struggled through
The cold English rain, a car just missed
 mine..Mundane stuff people.'One day my
Car will be part of a robot.? Could be.? Or
Just a rusted hulk.? Can you tell me exactly.? No you can't I can't, there are many things i cannot do.' What is valueble? Whar is the imperative.? A glass of clean water, or a vase of it, with fresh flowers.? Is that fullfilling.? Its not the whole, yet part of the sum.' Its in its place
The same as the river, the mountains the
Plains and the valleys, works of antiqity
Observed in museams, or looted.' And placed on a table somewhere.? I do not know, what the next hour will bring ' the
Unseen post service, that always delivers.'
Unpaid i'll grant you, but always aware, of
My existence, in this great simewhere.'

Hey Joe, yes, we don't live strictly in high philosophical contemplation; we constantly swing between big existential questions and the absurdly mundane friction of daily life. Asking whether value lies in a "glass of clean water" or a "vase of it, with fresh flowers" gets right to the core of human purpose. We need sustenance to survive, but we need beauty, reflection, and connection to truly live. Grounded and deeply introspective work, Joe. Blessings, Daniel
