Got to thinking today
(as a reformed adult, not
an unusual activity for me).
Comparing the universal
scope of things, the size
of Earth versus the sun,
the mass of one atom
pitted against Mt. Everest,
a sneeze buried in a
hurricane, the concept
of a god as relates to the
scope and might of the
cosmos, you know, side
by side relationships
which the human mind
conjures up occasionally
when allowed free-time
to wander aimlessly.
Ever consider
the trillions upon trillions
of stars out there in the
literal universal ether
not one of which has the
instinctive or intuitive
power of an ant.
Then place you and I into
the equation. We could
shoot a billion bullets or
atom bombs into the sun
and it would virtually
have no discernible effect.
And the plausibility is,
it could take one well
placed pin prick to do
us in.
The question then arises,
mind over matter or matter
over mind, an inquisition
we humans are faced with
every single day?
Is it a curse or a blessing
being you and I every single
days of our lives? In our
minds, believer in a higher
power or not, here we are
with that which neither star
nor atom, regardless of size
or scale possesses.
Ah, the human psyche and
ego, all those choices to be
made. Good or evil?
We are everything and yet
nothing all at once. A caution-
ary thought, my friend: Be
afraid, be very afraid, or
should you as one of a kind
in body and mind choose
otherwise.
