I had to do some thinking and some growing...but I missed this community so I still have to think and to grow but I also need to share my poetry.  Paul

They tried to tell me there was an answer
Some said...
     well there has to be some absolute
I heard it over and over...
     there is truth

I searched and I studied and I listened and I lived
I think I thought I had it several times
I know I had it a couple of times

And I learned and I lived...
     and I haven’t found it yet
Truths yes..
     answers yes..
          hope yes..
Absolutes NO!!!
     everything I think is absolute
     someone shows me how it is excepted

And then I lived some more...
     and found wonderful joy
Wonderful joy and great freedom...
     as it was whispered to me

Embrace the ambiguity!!!
     enjoy the learning!!!
Live the experiences!!!
     listen to the truths!!!
Ponder life!!!

But embrace the ambiguity!!!

Paul

I'm so glad that decided to come back and share your poetry..this is a great place and you're welcome.  

Your poem brought to mind some of the same questions I have had...life is always changing, yes..seems wise just to enjoy the ambiguity.  Thank you for sharing.
