Who are you?
having come from a space beyond the stars 
to my bosom on earth.

What is the configuration that constitutes you?

I see your face
gazing at me in trust.

Every part of you I can see
is understood by my fellow humans.

The light in your eyes
the fire that enables you to digest the milk you suck 
giving power to your little hands.

We do not know where it comes from.

How is it formed?

You are Olarinmoye.
But is that all you are?

What were you before we gave you that name?
What were you before you emerged into the world?
Who were you in the middle of that great journey
from there to here?

Share with us that 
which we do not know
but which you might remember.

Would you like to share what you were actually thinking, o you who conceived, and nurtured life within you, and brought it forth to enrich the earth, manifestation that is miracle, the cosmos born again in a new human, existence replicating its genesis and development in your experience of pleasure and pain, joy and effort, struggle and fulfilment?
