The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.
-Albert Einstein
It is Mystery
Tell me of the sunset, the blind man says.
What words could paint the rainbow’s pallet
And make sightless eyes to truly comprehend?
Not tasted, smelt, heard, or touched?
It is other, I say.
It is mystery, it is mystery.
Tell me of the symphony, says the one who has not ears.
How will you describe that harmonious blend
of rhythms beat with varied winds and singing strings?
Not tasted, smelt, seen or touched?
It is other, I say.
It is mystery, it is mystery.
Tell me of the taste of food, asks one born without a tongue.
Again our words cannot make a full description
of sour versus sweet, or of bitter and of salt.
Not heard, smelt, seen or touched?
It is other, I say.
It is mystery, it is mystery.
Explain to me the world of spirit, the earthly skeptic says.
No smell or taste, nor touch with hand,
Not seen with eye or heard with ears?
It is Other, I say.
It is mystery, it is mystery.

Life's Full Tree
Foe of man, who waits outside
(dark foreboding of uncertainty)
Hold your peace and stand aside
Not my time to go with thee
Though you mock with malicious chide
Your presence brings no fear to me
My time on earth you don't decide
I have no need from you to flee
With destiny my days are tied
To fulfill my purpose, I am free
Eternity's peace, it does abide
Darkness has no hold on me
So take your mantle from my side
With your shadowed sickle flee
Full length of days I shall reside
Accomplish all that's meant for me
On this earth I'll take my ride
Will drink of all I taste and see
Hold my loved ones close beside
Consume the fruit of Life's full tree.
