Do I Exist and
How Do I Know?


by J.J. Crow
If I do exist, why am I here?
What is freedom and what is fear?
Am I here today and gone tomorrow?
What is joy and what is sorrow?

Do I think I exist because I feel?
Is what I see actually real?
Do I know I exist by taste and smell?
What is heaven, what is hell?

Why do I do the things I do?
How do I know what I think is true?
If all of life is Divine Creation
Than what am I in relation?

I am the rivers and the trees,
I am the stillness and the breeze.
I am the early morning light,
I am the dark enchanting night.

I exist to turn my mind within
And discover the joy that has no end.
I exist as the indivisible flow.
I Am the Creator, that's how I know!
