BEING HUMAN!

Today, I am sitting in my flat - in a block - surrounded by water.  The River Great Ouse has overflowed its banks into the undercroft - all round us - and even under us.  Will it cut us off completely?  I can't say so once again I turn to poetry that touches on the core of things - things that really matter.

          "we all start human
                we end up human
                    human first
                          human last
                    we're human
               or we're nothing

                    ''''''''''

               Look at your body
          with its amazing systems
          of nerve-wires and blood-canals
               think about your mind
          which can think about itself
               and the whole universe
                    look at your face
               which can freeze into horror
                    or melt into love,
               look at all that life
                    all that beauty.

                    you're human
                    they are human
                    we are human


                         dance!      "


This was 'borrowed' from Adrian Mitchell's poem in "Being Human" - an anthology edited by Neil Astley.

     As human beings, we are given enormous potential.  Life really is what we make it.  So don't sit there and moan about whatever life has brought you.  Just think about how good it is to be human .... and live!!!
