Oh Human

(Written after a student impulsively committed suicide, in the midst of mourning what it means to be human and not have all the answers.  Grief is not all burden.  It also leads one into a deeper connection with this Universe in a human way.)




Oh Human how quickly you forget what it is to be the human when plodding along in a life that takes your attention away from the finer details that make it simple ~ you are finite within this life as a human.  That's ok.  Find your way.

Oh Human how dismissive you are in your day to day of others needs and wants as you scramble to satisfy your own needs and wants forgetting you too are a part of this human thing that has a beginning and ending.  That's ok.  Find your way.

Oh Human here you are directing your own choices without a concern for how many of those choices affect your life on down the road of this short time you have to live as you want immediate satisfaction and oft refuse to forgive.  That's ok.  Find your way.

Oh Human in such emotional pain that the heart feels physically reduced to cracks and fissures with no ability to mend them and a desire to simply but quickly end such desperate pain might you sit with those emotions letting them wash over you to pass. That's ok.  Find your way.

Oh Human, my human, that needs attentive care  but does not know how to ask and forgets to notice not only one's own but others who cross the path.  That's ok.  That's ok.  Slowly, intentionally ~ find your way.
