Empirical: Exploration

The heart of an explorer,
Fearlessly or fearfully,
Boldly or tentatively,
Blindly or wide-eyed,
Reaching forward or withdrawing,

That’s what it takes
To be,
The passion to know
And the unknown;

Quickly or slowly,
Partially or wholly,
Step by step
Or all at once;

That there’s no right
Nor wrong way,
Makes choice so difficult,
Although no selection is necessary;

Just sitting
Is no different
From walking or running,
Nor from standing or lying down;

All are acceptable
And equal,
None is right,
None is wrong,

It’s all based
On nothing
In any case,
So there’s no pressure,

No particular reason why
One should go
This way or that,
The way is all ways.
