What Do I Know?

[Erik Torgersen]

I know there is a Maker for I was made; that I was called to this life, but not whence I came.

I know I am of the stars and the planets, of things which grow and things which flow; that the elements of these are timeless, and thus am I.                                                                                                    

I know there is more to this experience than that of which I am aware; that I will leave this experience, but not where I will go.                    

I know I have the choice to either enrich or taint the experience of my fellows; that when I am gone, only the ripples of my decisions will remain.

I know that I need love; that I have been touched by others, shaping my life in countless ways, and for this I am grateful.           

I know my understanding is infinitesimal; but these things I know.
