Exploring Happiness #24- What's It All About? Poem by June Stepansky

It’s about being born and growing.
It’s about selfishness and love.
It’s about the mysteries of sex.
It’s about communication
or lack of it.
It’s about uncertainty and fear.
It’s about understanding the past,
and looking forward to the future.
It’s about accepting
the incredible vastness
of a universe which we may
never fully comprehend.


Our earth and our universe are filled with complexities. There are no easy answers to the difficult questions, whether they be political, religious, medical, personal or environmental. The old adjustments will no longer solve our modern complex problems.
It is necessary for our very survival that we begin to understand that the solving of universal problems is going to demand dedication and maturity and compassion. We must educate ourselves and also help others to become more informed, so that the decisions we make will be the ones that will protect and preserve this fragile globe and its even more fragile inhabitants.
We must all strive to make this earth, our only home, a place of beauty and harmony instead of a chaotic sphere on the brink of possible destruction.
This is now our collective responsibility.

Off the rack solutions like
bargain basement dresses,
never fit anyone
Francoise Girard

I see mysteries and
complications wherever I look.
