Someone asks:
What if consciousness
is a fundamental property of the universe,
just like gravity or electromagnetism?

And then you look around,
and think of the spinning galaxies,
and the ants in their hills
and the new shoots breaking through
into the sunlight.

And you know that consciousness
is an essential part of the universe.

And that the power that moves
the sap through the trees
also moves the breath in your lungs
and the blood in your veins.

What remains then is to make contact.
