REFLECTIONS ABOUT MY BEING
Sometimes The Superficial Quality Of My Thoughts
Are Too Unintelligible For Me To Test
The Truthfulness Of My Own Theories
About The Life That I Am Living
Or About My Personal Interests In Others

Each Time I Examine My Opinions And Ideas
On Subjects That I Consider Special
I Am Reminded That I Have No Proof
To Validate My Conclusions Or Views
About Anything Or Anyone

Among My Goals In Life Are My Desires
To See Through My Hubris
Overcome My One-Sided Nature
And Understand Objectively
The Essence Of My Individual Self

Although My Reality Is More Than Conceptual
And Although I Have Hard Evidence
That The Way I See Myself
Is Both Practical And Productive
I Continue To Look For New Methods
By Which I Can Expand My Mind

Looking Below The Surface Of Myself
For A More Meaningful Me
Is An Impossible Task To Undertake
Unless I Am Able To Escape
From My Partial Philosophical Plantation

Before I Can Become Better Informed
About My Own Individuality
I Will Need To Know More
About The Full Complement Of Faculties
That Are Available To The Human Psyche

My Intellectual Insights And My Emotional Understandings
Seem To Be Constantly At Odds With Each Other
And What I Feel About My Being
Is Too Often Intellectually Absurd

In Order For My Rational Sense Of Self
To Breathe The Uncontaminated Air Of Reason
Where Fresh Thoughts Are Conceived And Born
I Must Strengthen My Thinking Skills
By Exercising My Mental Muscles
As I Make My Enlightening Ascent
Up The Mountain Of My Mind
