What

By Tod RT Minotti

PROMPT — The way I see it ...

I am conscious.

I am in the Universe.

The Universe has a consciousness.

I am proof of that.

So are you. So are all humans.

We are proof that the Universe has a consciousness, because

we are here.

Alone, perhaps, in terms of the Universe,

but in human terms, in Earth terms, we are very abundant.

Conscious creatures, made from inert stuff.

Energy trapped in matter. Matter illuminated by energy.

Equal parts, most of the time.

Sunshine and Earth.

Water makes the mixture.

We are the result.
