Things that matter, huh? Alright, let's see what we have around here.
Fragment of a poem written years ago (around 1966), while learning to be a biologist. Some things never change, I guess. The inspiration was Robert Service's "The Cremation of Sam McGee", which I'd be happy to recite for you sometime if you'd like.
He's one to whom living
His creed I'm giving
Encompasses all man knows and does.
To sit and see life
Its varieties rife
Serves as its own Because.
And yet to see
With a capital Be
Requires as well that one is
And so he will sit
In the random sieve
And view lives, others and his.
And errors he'll make
For he too has a stake
In how he wants things to be
And can't ever quite know
From his vantage point low
What eternity can see.
