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!
