Astonishing
Reality is really
Terrifyingly incredible
To exist as a
Conscious Being
And to be
Self-Aware
Is a weird phenomenon
An emergent property
Of Chance and Possibility
When it dawns on you
That you exist
As part of a whole
It’s almost haunting
Knowing you are Matter
With its own Will
And Self-awarenes
Is truly Mind boggling
The scale of the Micro
And of the Cosmos
Questions about
How it all works
Of what came before
You were Awake
And what will happen
After you go to Sleep
All this
Combines
To just
Astonish Me
Matter With A Will
.
Choice determines the state in which matter articulates. Astonishment, like awe and faith, presuppose confidence in surrounding matter in perpetual flux. While choice exists inside or against impossibly enormous motion, life can evolve. Stagnancy and harsh systems of limitation causing arrest as stillness without options is the beginning of inertia as devolution. This poem is the affirmation and essence of wonder.

This poem sets forth one of the great wonders of creation---that matter, elements fused from hydrogen in the cores of stars that later exploded, was given consciousness, awareness, and emotion. And, to our knowledge, this is the only consciousness that the cosmos can achieve, so it is both a privilege and a responsibility.

Thanks!
I think explaining things should be done with easy language,
at all times. Being able to explain complex ideas means you hold a whole understanding.
