A Jaw Dropping Experience

Went to the ROM last weekend The Royal Ontario Museum An absolute and total eye opener for sure We with our sophisticated smugness With our feeling of superiority Emboldened by today's amazing technology Need to stop and take a look back At the achievements of these artisans From centuries gone by Of generations with totally amazing skills Without the aid of of today's technology To help them in their endeavours Just their hands and their inventive minds The results of which were astounding I stood there in awe It was a totally mind blowing experience Everyone needs to take a break and look back It makes us realize what great things The human mind has always been capable of It was a jaw dropping experience!

Did you take a date? Yes Jack the human mind is a wonder. Like you, I'm always amazed how our ancestors accomplished all they did, with very little to work with except their mind and vision.

That sounds like an interesting museum Jack. Loved your poem. You are right , we pride ourselves on being so clever but our ancestors did more with less in a lot of respects.

I'm with you there Jack, the pyramids amaze me, they say they're only a few centimetres out of line. The human mind is a hundred times more powerful than a computer. Tom
