Death and Rebirth — A Poem

There’s a rebirth that goes on with us continuously as human beings. I don’t understand, personally, how you can be bored. I can understand how you can be depressed, but I just don’t understand boredom. **Dustin Hoffman**

Everything has a cycle

Daffodils evolve from seed to flower to seed

Humans evolve through experience and learning

The pain of the first birth for the mother equals the pain of each revelation

Revelation and wisdom hard earned

Truth is only half the story

The layers peel away to find another angle

Angles can be very sharp

The memory never quite leaves

Transformation brings more questions

Stillness becomes a part of your self

Introspection and Destruction

A piece is left behind, blown in the wind

It is a paradoxical but profoundly true and important principle of life that the most likely way to reach a goal is to be aiming not at that goal itself but at some more ambitious goal beyond it. **Arnold J. Toynbee**
