Breadcrumbs 2024 & Beyond 

 

 

Grubs With Attitude

 

Are we two-leggeds, really anything more than grubs, chock-full of imaginary whimsy?

Will we ever manage to get over ourselves?

 

Will we ever fully realize we are merely evolutionary outcomes?

 

And whenever it happens, will we depart the stage with nobility and humility and integrity and discipline,

As fully-evolved human beings, harmoniously realigned with the mysterious source of our origin,

Guardians of whatever carcass is left of the quantum dust-ball garden that birthed us all?

 

Or will we exit like fruit flies, churning feverishly for the last dollop of honey in the bell jar?

Like rats, vying savagely for the last crumbs at the bottom of the cage?

 

At this writing, the answer is more than a little evident.

 

 

The Illusion of Existence

 

So many ways to fill this mystery theater continuum, if all you are doing is living.

All we two-leggeds are, is crunchy-chewy-gooey grubs, chock-full of imaginary whimsicality.

How can anything but a quiet, still, serene mind, truly embrace the eternal moment?

No point holding on to what was neither here nor there in the first place.

 

 

A Wayward Journey

 

If we crunchy-chewy-gooey human beings were truly the greatest, highest grubs ever,

Would we have decimated this extraordinary garden world the way we have?

How is it we lost all sense of guardianship in our wayward journey?

 

 

Whimsical Grubs

 

All we two-leggeds are, is grubs, chock-full of imaginary whimsy.

 

 

Have You Seen Your Self?

 

As long, as you truly believe; as long, as you truly maintain,

You are this crunchy-chewy-gooey grubby blob,

You have not seen what you truly are.
