Human Nature

It is human nature to squeeze, to poke and feel, questioning if imagined or real; a part of creation, our shared mystery – Identifying layers to grasp and peel...using the power of mind, sorting and labeling all that we find – no measure nor weight as yet to the soul, looking beneath and above...as the atheist scientist probes a heart to prove his love....

Hi Joe! This shook my mind this morn. I find it accurate to my experience in examining human nature. I always got hope from Einstein who became a firm believer. Hugs, sally for this strong, accomplished poem

Hi Sally; thank you. I have loved science, truly sought out answers regarding creation -- it has only strengthened my belief in God. But one cannot reconcile any of the vagaries without taking into account the notions of Karma and Reincarnation. These subjects must be revisited by Christians.

Insightful. Accurate how we try to be smart ... Love the way to use scientist-at-work analogy. Shalom shalom Father DeMino

Joe, there are so many layers of depth to plumb is this poem! I love the highlight to the curiosity built into "human nature" - "to squeeze, to poke and feel." So nicely expressed. Blessings!
