So what am I Then?

Reality leaves a lot to the imagination. ~John Lennon

So what am I then?
Just a bunch of atoms
Whirling and swirling
around
I am mostly space
if the truth be known
unwound

Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion. ~Democritus

What animates me?
Am I like virtual reality
Imagineered like Disney
For fun
Or something much more
Returning to the place it
Began

Few people have the imagination for reality. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

What is it I see?
Moreover, how do I feel
Is it just electrons
Being
Is it all just material
Physically constrained
Seeing?

Did you ever wonder if the person in the puddle is real, and you’re just a reflection of him? ~Calvin and Hobbes

Are we connected?
All things are The One
Am I you, you me
A God?
Existing through eternity?
If so, Wouldn’t that be
A Sod!

Obsessed by a fairy tale, we spend our lives searching for a magic door and a lost kingdom of peace. ~Eugene O’Neill
