Mud Puddles

Poetry for the 21st Century 11/24/07 (another day of rebirth, renewal, a new chance to live fuller than before) ”this rose will never die” – Cat Stevens Do you believe that humans have a significant role in the universe? No. I prefer not to believe anything, I'd rather know. I don't know the answer, but I like to guess. First, I find it hard to separate the whole into parts (or roles). Humans may have value as guardians, explorers and lovers. These 'roles' don't cover everything, but seem to be important. Like any good question, this one leads me to more questions. What does the universe need and want? Does the universe need protection? Does the universe want to be discovered? Does the universe need to love? Does the universe want to be loved? When the answer is yes, I know from personnel experience that it is very, very significant, I hope the universe knows this too.
