New poem: "A Simple Proposition"

 A Simple Proposition

 

I have a proposition. I’m not a scientist,

evolutionary biologist, physicist, theologian,

or professional philosopher (called to the Way,

I walked away from academia short of obtaining

my philosophy degree); I’m just a humble poet

residing in a place called Tiny in Georgian Bay,

Ontario, and I enjoin anyone who would like

to catch a glimpse of life’s unfathomable mystery,

a glimpse from the highest possible perspective

known as the Divine Plan of God that my muse

worked out for me through the many books I

was called to write while pursuing a living doing

contract painting and drywall taping; but had I

not experienced what I did to connect the dots

of the Divine Plan of God, I would never have

solved the riddle of life. Simple truth, or arrogant

presumption; what does it matter to the curiously

minded? I propose suspending your belief system,

whether secular or religious, and entertain a simple

proposition that there is nothing but the self and God,

and that the whole evolutionary process of life on

planet Earth was designed by God to realize the Self

of God by allowing the embryonic souls of God’s

atoms to grow and evolve a new “I” of God through

the recurring cycles of life and death until the new

“I” of God is ready to return back to God where

we all came from without an “I” of our own;

that’s why Jesus, who showed us the Way,

could say, “I and the Father are One?”
