A grand thing

To be part of something
one doesn't in the least understand
is, I think,
one of the most intriguing things about life.
I like living.
I have sometimes been
wildly despairing,
acutely miserable,
racked with sorrow,
but through it all
I still know quite certainly
that just to be alive
is a grand thing.
