-- Nothing I Love More -- by John Herlihy Nothing I love more than an eternal mystery, Set out in plain language for everyone to see. Who wonders not at the intrigue of a stranger, An unknown person offers an element of danger. A question of life’s purpose with no clear answer, We stalk our way through life as a night panther. We wonder how and why the universe was born, How the continuum of time out of eternity torn. And what of eternity itself, the notion of forever, Are we to have this one little life, eternity never. Enough perhaps to know these mysteries exist, The questioning mind probes and will ever persist. Happy days when there is still something to know, Sad would be days with nothing more still to know. - - - - - Copyright © John Herlihy Friday 22 March 2024

A ENJOYED SHARING, JOHN. AND SO TRUE...FOR AS LONG AS WE ARE BREATHING WHETHER OUR 'THIRST' BE SMALL OR GREAT...WE AS HUMAN BEINGS WILL ALWAYS PANT TO FIND AN ANSWER TO A PROBING (PERSONAL OR GLOBAL) QUESTION/ITCH. WE LOVE TO SEEK AND LEARN, THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT. AND THIS IS HEALTHY BUT IT BECOMES UNHEALTHY WHEN MORE DAMAGE IS DONE TO FIND/FIX WHAT WE MIGHT TERM AS A PROBLEM/MYSTERY...WHEN THERE ISN'T ONE. ALL ANSWERS ARE NOT TO BE FOUND ON THIS EARTH...WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT. I PRAY THAT SCIENCE DOESN'T DESTROY THIS WORLD...TRYING TO FIND WHAT IT IS REALLY MADE OF, YOU KNOW? LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS.

Heaven help us if we ever come to believe we know it all!

You do write a lot about eternity and things infinite. That seems to be your driving force trying to find out what mysteries lie just beyond human grasp and whether or not we can learn by seeking them.

I have given up the infinite to the philosophers, scientists and astronomers to solve while I focus on the practical reality of guiding the present into a more friendly and peaceful future.

Many a wise word in this poetic exam of "Mystery" and "questioning". I continually perplexed at the number of young people who seem to have little interest in questioning or exploring mystery... save for the quick in and quick out nature of social media. It would serve youth well just to spend a day contemplating the words you presented here. Well done.
