an

inspirational piece, to be sure--"somethings we just know...." indeed! we are not tabula rasas or whatever they call them: you should be probably check "referrance", i don't know if you meant to spell reference that way for the purpose of the haiku or not--it's a neat piece either way, somehow full of enthusiasm and glowing with life. great job.

In addition

please check: somethings/some things and quite/quit. You really ought to pay more attention to your spelling, the mistakes might make some people not take your work seriously, which would be a real pity! Otherwise, a really good one!ID
