The Ultimate Survivor
Eddie lies suspended in space
A neat little egg-shaped vacuum
he has carved out for himself
Where troubles can not go
And men of cloth dare not prey
Nudged gently on by a whispering wind
That only Eddie can hear
Across vast oceans
over tiny star-studded islands
End-over-end Eddie floats
Taking in all the angles
and never letting on
that he has mastered it all
that from his hand those shapes were drawn
and that through his simple and indifferent way
He has emerged as the worldâs greatest survivor.

'you are only confused when you perceive yourself to be confused, which is not often.'
Do you have a better confusion of your understanding now?
