Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking

His legacy is large
as he leaves his 
life-sustaining technology
behind..
He leaves behind also
this quote:
"The greatest enemy of
knowledge is not ignorance,
it is the illusion of knowledge."

Knowledge 
often masquerades
as wholeness
claiming more than
its limited span..
Knowledge as thought
appears in our Self
is made of Self
but cannot know
the infinite Self...

Our Thanks, Stephen Hawking...

Mr. Coon, great stuff. Even the simple Bible says "Get wisdom & understanding not simply worldly knowledge. Solomon chose WISDOM of God, & gained all else, besides. Thanks & shalom. DEO
