Beyond

The sciences attempt an explanation Yet each new discovery leads to another mystery The source of all is something our finite minds cannot put into words As day becomes night we strive to understand Indeed Spinoza said "Neither weep nor laugh - but understand" Our understanding, however will always have to cope with the minds we have been given We now have the capacity to end life on earth Only by contemplating the mystery together Can we save ourselves Open your heart to the starry sky! Open your soul to the mystery! That is the path to survival!

Matthew, my friend, you have dealt here with a philosophical idea that is as old as philosophy itself and you did very well indeed! Excellent thought-provoking verse that touches the heart and mind!
