Only If Ye Knows Where To Look

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see. - Thoreau

i scavenge for god

he's right below the surface

under my pale skin

Author's Note

"It is not when I am going to meet him, but when I am just turning away and leaving him alone, that I discover what God is. I say, God. I am not sure that that is the name. You will know what I mean." - Thoreau

physicists talk of the big bang theory - why couldn't that be him speaking the world into existence? ... and god said ...

[Fabian G. Franklin]

Science and faith are not at enmity with one another. They both seek answers to our existence. "Seek and ye shall find". Me, I'm a student of ordinary magic like bees turning flower nectar to honey and making things grow in the process. A bee is an excellent multi-tasker. And why not?
