Meaningful thought.

Maybe people clam up. Because they don’t know what they truly believe. And they are afraid to find out. Afraid to venture into the unknown. So they choose not to face up. To a personal truth. They would rather dwell on mundane matters. And go through life. As if on a meaningless journey. Avoiding the pertinent questions. About one’s own existence. Instead, they allow others to define them. But I’ve always felt. That I must define myself. By digging deeper and deeper and deeper. By putting words together. Into meaningful thought. --Jim Broede
