Transcendent -

beyond or above the range of normal or merely physical human experience

I guess I just like the idea that there is stuff beyond me.

Objects and beings and beauty that I cannot begin to comprehend.

My mind, limited by its humanity.

I like the way it rolls of the tongue

and off the corners of my consciousness.

I like the way it makes my toes grow cold

as my mind careens forward, trying to catch up

to something, anything, that I will never know

Oddly, I like how it makes me competitive

I like how it makes me want to leave my mark

despite how small this world might be

despite how insignificant I am, despite, despite, despite

Maybe I just like the way it makes me hope

for new sciences to be discovered,

new solutions for the pain and sadness that consume our

brief little lives.
