A grain of sand.

Has 48,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms.

One grain.

Get high, get low,
Get up, get slow.
It really doesn't matter what you know.

We are insignificant.
We are expendable.
We are footprints in the snow.

Determinism. It's scientific.

At the moment of the big bang,
Every particle in the universe,
Began its journey.

Each on a predictable path.
Physics.

That means the future is set.
We cannot change it.

And the past is the only past that could have ever been.

You are not to blame.
You cannot change things.

But you have to act as if you can.

Your past is not your fault.

Consciousness.
We are in this together.

Enjoy.

Sit
To understand happiness,
I sit calmly on a park bench,
And watch children play.

There is an  abundance of joy,
In their laughter and their tears.

We need touch.
Skin to skin contact with others.

Oddly when we touch someone else, it tells us we are real.
Touch is our most powerful form of self awareness.

Weird huh.

Tea
Do not spend too much time on your why.

It's your how that will make all the difference.

Is it a sign of the times,
That my phone knows me better,
Than anyone else ever will.
Hank Helman Dec 2024
We can hide who we are,
But only from ourselves.

Others see us much more clearly.
Know thyself.
It is a difficult thing to do
