Notes About The Poem

Adversity Is a Blessing

Ego has it's say,
darkening the day,
so watch from afar
like yonder North Star.

As God’s living light,
how’d we feel the plight
of organic form,
caught in earth life's storm?

Let's celebrate life
with it's stress and strife,
being our soul's chance,
to grow while we dance.

In quantum mechanics (which I know very little about, but am fascinated by), it was discovered that fractals cannot recreate in a solid line. The lines that create life have purposeful imperfections that cause them to branch. We are here to experience the plight in perfect imperfection.
