I am human
I am not the beginning
Nor the end of it.
Evolution did not begin with me
nor am I so arrogant
As to presume that I, Human as I am,
Will represent the final flowering,
The culmination of creation.

I am human.
I was not created so. Though it is so written.
Creation is not so constrained by written words.
I am an inheritor of the genes of my ancestors
and some of them were human too.
I am a brush stroke among many in creation’s
Masterpiece, and not its canvas or its frame.

I am human,
Descendant of the first life to flower
In this small part of creation's garden.
I am not alone in having words
I am not alone in having love
I am not alone in knowing creation.
I am simply human.
