Kids In The Schoolyard

It doesn’t matter what religion you believe in: Buddhism, Catholicism, Taoism, Communism, Hinduism, Druidism.

It doesn’t matter if you have led armies, cleaned shoes, split the atom, influenced millions, rode in a rocket to the moon.

You are still that little kid running with all the other kids in a schoolyard. That’s always there, that’s you, that’s what humanity is, that’s what the world is, that’s existence, that’s what we all really are, working it all out because no one really knows everything. Everybody questions, why a bumblebee’s flight is scientifically impossible, but they do. Humanity is a sure bet at the end of the day, its real, it’s there, it’s the only thing that’s going to save this planet, and when you die don’t be afraid because you don’t know anything anyway, but you will always be loved and remembered here. That’s life, that’s what it’s all about, live now because you, me, them and others are all just human beings right here, right now. People are their own gods, terrible, beautiful, cruel, kind, powerful, omnipotent, everything, but mostly just little kids running around in that school yard that’s always there. Fingers crossed.
