“All in all”, she said as she started her summary.
and I stopped listening, the phrase stuck with me
My mind wandered outside of the classroom.
This became a serious question.
“All in all” what can that possibly mean?
A simple turn of phrase, some kind of meme?
An insight into existentialism?
A statement of extreme pantheism?
What connects me to a forest of trees
and everyone before and after me?
What is shot through all of reality
the root of all spirituality
the animism in every being.
the energy in everything living?
All in all from the primordial first
some call it prana or chi, I say Christ.
If you like this poem, give it a heart and share it with a friend.
All in All
