“The woke are asleep” —somebody
Believing intelligent design
would seem to make one conspiracy-stupid and naive.
But we are intelligent, or not, based on what we believe.
The atheist uses intelligence to find non-intelligence,
which is brilliant, no doubt.
Intelligence within finds the opposite without.
The world made itself, by chance—
things knocked about for billions of years;
we evolved from rocks into sensitive beings
vibrating stories of laughter and tears.
A rock can’t do that. Why is there a debate?
A miracle is a miracle, whether on-time or late.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say
Existence started before there was “yesterday;”
we cannot know how it started; I saw
the universe by the universe’s law
which exists together with the universe—or not.
We either have nothing—or more than we have got.
Both priest and scientist, it seems to me,
can easily agree;
they both need to go back—to philosophy.
Once, many years ago, I heard Socrates—and for a moment understood—
the secret to wisdom is the word, “good.”
