Cold & Clear

COLD & CLEAR

10/22/11

Thirty-seven clear and cold,

so very clear

not a cloud anywhere.

The cold creeps into my jacket,

then into my hands.

No gloves in these pockets.

The stars shine so brightly

on this crisp and cold late night.

The moon is a big crescent.

It casts not the shadow of a few days ago

for it’s much less than full.

But still the shadows do appear.

The dogs curiously chasing scents

here and there

of what I have no clue.

That’s what I takeaway

"of what I have no clue,"

the vastness of it all.

Why do we humans feel

we can know it all!

For I think there is joy

in marvelling at the mystery of it all.

Yes clear & cold

and just marvelling

at the Divine mystery

of it all!


All My Love Always, Keith

Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature.

And that is because, in the last analysis,

we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.
