God
God is in the compassion for
the lost child,
In the equality of all men,
In the dancing contour of a
wave,
Steadfastness in holding to
principles,
In the pursuit of truth.
He is timeless and spaceless,
He can be grasped and yet is
transcendent,
He is everywhere and yet is
nowhere,
He does not speak yet we have
his answers,
He is an idea we can not materialize,
A part of ourselves and yet
larger than we,
His beauty lies in his supreme
reasonableness,
And his message is to be larger
than life.
God is the messenger and man
is the message,
Nature is the work of natural
laws,
But man's mind weaves the fabric
of ethics, beauty, and truth, Man is both
nature and mind.
Above us is a dome of unknown,
Below us is a shaky earth,
Man's only anchor is his ideas
(or their pursuit),
God is an idea that is grounded
in reality,
It has been one of man's most
enduring ideas,
Science can not change it much.
Had there not been a god so far,
It would be invented,
Man is structured to have a
need for him,
God is the inner reflection
of man,
His need for order, meaning,
and direction.
