Markings

I don’t know who
– or what –
put the question,
I don’t know
when it was put.
I don’t even
remember answering.
But at some moment
I did answer yes
to Someone
– Or something _
and from that hour
I was certain
that existence
is meaningful
and that, therefore
my life,
in self-surrender,
had a goal.

~ Dag Hammarskjold in Markings
