They say we humans long to belong.
I can't say categorically
that that's wrong.
Belong.
Only the hugely damaged accept the fact
of not belonging.
And theoretically that seems right.
The rest of us--
the moderately damaged
or the miraculously healed—
we live to belong.
And after all,
this business of being One with Everything—
stones and mountains and rivers
in addition to the sentient beings—
well, if that's true
(or if we just want to think it's true)
our only choice is to accept belonging as our right.
Or is it our duty?
Our duty to life or to the universe
(the multiverse, rather)
is to learn to belong on whatever level we can.
No matter how uncomfortable that might be,
let us keep searching until we find
the subset to which we actually belong.
It won't be long.
