While wheelbarrowing sunlight yesterday,
I realized that petroleum (aka fossil fuels),
is actually sunlight as well.

Everything comes from the sun …
except the consumers.

How is that our genetic compositions,
plants, animals, people,
creatures of all varieties
have populated this place
and for what reason?

Some of the greatest minds
have proposed no reason
at all.

And yet we have the wills to survive,
and the minds to ponder,
the reason to be.
