There are these ultimate absurdities
That make God’s troubles ours
The animal in man never cared for him
The divine in man never won him over yet –
God was not meant to live through man
Man was meant to be mistaken
God does not therefore think of man constantly
Though he loves us equally
Neither of us shall live close to him
So then is it worth to be a sleepless dreamer?
Of God-dreams, unrealized by our orphan-tears?
True, I do not know who I am
So, how shall I ever know my God
There are these ultimate absurdities
That only evolution can solve
The miracle of loving brings us on
To a future where light knows how to brighten
When the Divine in man might liberate
The human from the animal
The soul from the biological machine.

Very well said. Best>KB
Thanks KB
Your poetry interests me, how it binds imagination and language particularly.
May I enquire as to the name of the god that you worship?
I suppose I am mystic with most of my spiritual roots in Taoism, Buddism, sufism, integral yoga, transpersonal psychology and the perennial philosophy generally. I’m not sure that answers your question? I believe in evolution and not a man made God in actuality.
Thank you. I was wondering because you capitalize God in your poetry, which led me to believe you were using it as a proper name. A man made God certainly does have an oxymoronic ring to it, I agree.
God, Beloved, Divine, Universal – it’s all the same to me 😛
Nature and Evolution isn’t far behind at all…
Keep It Up And People Might Start Calling You A Capitalist. Nice chatting with you.
