i know how to live
it’s easy
sitting here
in my blessed privilege

i know how to love
even when it’s difficult
the most powerful force in the universe
can be that way

i know how to move and breathe
to look and listen
communicate
be a person
among people
i know

but there is so much
beyond
more than any of us
will ever know

and although i am at peace
with not knowing
i am curious
