A Case for Either Or

Either it is or it isn’t. Either you can

or you cannot. It is up to you to find

an acceptable solution or pass.

Long before Plato and Galileo, before

Newton, Freud and Einstein gave us

avenues leading to the answers, we

created the gods to whom we would

subscribe, and by whom we without

question would faithfully abide.

Then, we are free to walk away, to

deny our own ignorance or culpability.

Something created from nothing is a con-

venient excuse to explain the unexplained.

For that which I personally have no

answer, my friend (and believe me, that

accounts for a hell of a lot), I would

humbly offer, either it is or it isn’t.

All I know at this time is that I am unable.

However, should I have a change of heart

or some revelatory enlightenment of the

mind, rest assured, you shall be the first

to know.

Otherwise, let’s consider the matter entirely
in the hands of God. All knowing and omni-
potent, either He or She shall most certainly
figure the whole thing out.
