the definition of consciousness is obviously going to vary from person to person - so some will point to God, some to ancestors, and some to science depending on their leaning and upbringing
for me, by the way, sorry, but though it is the first two am also considering the role science has to play..

Hey DD, don\'t worry there\'s no such thing as Climate Change. He has declared it as nonexistent so that he won\'t have to deal with it. You know who I mean, Donny Dementia. - Phil A.

Now, all jokes aside, is this a question that can even be answered satisfactorily? If one says God, the unbeliever will scoff and say 🙄, sure...of course. Not. Yet, if all that is answered is some sort of psychosocial response trying to explain the phenomenon, that won\'t be satisfactory either, because it fails to answer the why, let alone the what. So, for me, it\'s a mystery and I am comfortable with that. Sorry for my response above...but you set me up for it! 😂 I could not resist. Great, thought-provoking poem, my friend!

Your existence comes from within your mind Dave, it shows you the way to move forward from the experiences you have acquired from your past.

Dave, Dave, Dave, ones \" bodily frame \" is just housing for your brain, some place for it to reside and be cared for as best as is possible. \"Consciousness\" is a bio-chemical reaction within the human brain. They are not all alike (varying from happiness to total terror). The process is controlled by your DNA. Genes inherited from your ancestors. It took millennia of adaptations to beget the first conscious humans, and we may be on the road to unconsciousness. - Phil A.

Well, I can\'t give an answer other than \'God\' - ultimately, if tracing back our ancestors to.... Adam and Eve. I bet you knew I was gonna say that!

Impossible for a definite answer, me, I feel I view the world through what I see and hear, that creates my feelings, thoughts and emotions and that gives weight to my existence, a tough question but enjoyable

Good write, Dave.
A thought.
We do not view the world through our bodily frame.
Nothing leaves our body to fetch back anything.
The world enters our body through our senses.
We create the world in our minds.
We could all be living in different worlds but
because we all use the same names
we agree with each other.

Being the philisopher now, are we? How am I supposed to answer in a trice, especially with your warning? Here, \"...in Him we live, and move, and have our being--\" so I didn\'t use the 3-letter word you forbade me using, but that\'s my answer. And if it\'s not your ancestors, who are you wanting???
Beautifully rendered riddle. Thank you for sharing.

I would be very pretentious to provide and answer that no one else has been able to adequately explain. Some say neurochemical but that is the same as saying God and gives no real answer being teleological in nature. So this is a tough one Dave I give. Made me think though

Child Care
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Excellent write, my friend. It\'s been so long since my kids were in day care, but I remember not loving it. I am not sure about background checks, here in PA (not sure about other states) they\'re required, both Federal and State checks. All the same, a lot of the other issues you raise were still issues. Well done, Dave. An important piece and a fave. 🌹👏

Child Care
sorenbarrett said:
Indeed Dave worked in a day care once and of all the jobs I have ever had it was the most demanding. Would rather work in a mine, construction, or a prison than a day care. As a parent and grand parent keeping an eye on three or four is more than can be expected of any normal person but keeping an eye on ten to twenty is a job that even the gods have given up on. A most pertinent read Dave and a definite issue with most families having two working parents or worse yet single parent families.

We had been stung by this and on the second day had our child pulled out. That was almost 16 years ago now. Never looked back. After that the offending childcare place had changed hands more fingers than you would care shake your hands at. 🕊️🙏🏻

DD, It\'s all just a big lottery. There\'s good and bad among all walks of life. Success is all just a pinball among the flippers. The cards are stacked in favor of the wealthy, but everyone still has a chance, be it ever so slim. It\'s best just to enjoy being alive and not sweat over the course of fate. Keep on smiling.

Lost the butterflies, have we? No matter, simply put the kettle on and go take a long walk in the countryside. Beautifully rendered in brevity with a lightly haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Stand Clear: Political Commentary.
Tony Grannell said:
A short history of modern America and spot on, I may add. The language you use, standing up to their words, especially so the vile sycophants and their pathetic narratives. It\'s frightening actually and your excellent poem expresses this perfectly. Much applauds for this one and deservingly so.
All the best,
Tony.
