Porcelain Ponderings



Awestruck due to the sheer complexity;
The "Cosmic Arithmetic" perplexity;
Calculations galore, and loads to unpack;
Investigating with bulletins and thumbtacks.

The "Who, what, where, why's of all",
Certainly an experienced guru knows,
Yet most drown-out and ignore the call
When the time arises for their spirits to grow.

Awesome is the utter simplicity.
The answers are there implicitly.
We are what is all around.
All sights. Any feelings. Every Sound.

Impacts and testimonies to be made;
Games, toys, and instruments to play;
Exploring ideas and adventures await.
Learn and earn and much more...today!
