The Eternal Quest

What am I?

Who am I?

Where do I come from?

Where am I going?

A Star Trek alien

called humans: "bags of water" -

a conglomerate of molecules?

Then what animates?

Simple organic electricity?

Then who thinks?

With eyes to see,

the silver cord connects

to this "bag of water" - fluid

- or fluidity of being -

As above, so below -

I am more than this Allen,

or Paula, Chad, or Ophelia.

I evolve, morph,

transform -

matter matters, yes,

but Spirit fits the form.

I am more.

And next time

I will be different,

may be he, maybe she,

may be pink, black or brown,

handsomely beautiful or not,

planting rice

or teaching metaphysics,

but I will be "new" -

Spirit fits the form,

and I fulfill a purpose.
