Mystery

Mystery


the great Mystery
gathers
surrounds itself
in Mystery
develops feelings about
itself
starts thinking
about its feelings
and so it goes
and so it is
from the beginning
that has no end.

Indeed

though all about us? we're interlinked, no? "The Great Mystery" as you eloquently describe here is the only thing that makes life worth living, and you describe it well. Neat. GB

Smiles. There is only *I* and *Thou*.... The experience of life separating itself into two equal universes, so to speak. ~A "You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality." Ayn Rand

Apparently not realizing that hiding so well (and so long) becomes a drag to those bright enough to make a for-real, honest search. Thanx. As so often usual, you've put together a nicely terse, thoughtful piece. Yours, Chuck
