Others tell us what ‘truth’ should be when we <br />are small and with this tunnel vision we tackle <br />the world of experience and symbolism, bored <br />in our mental citadels <br /> <br />My life began when I discovered mysteries of <br />the unexplained: Egyptian pyramid blocks too <br />heavy for forklifts, ancient astronaut theories, <br />spontaneous human combustion <br /> <br />The face on Mars, levitation, spiritualism, the <br />Bermuda Triangle, UFO’s, theosophy, Sufi <br />dancers and the Mahabharata – requiring <br />a new definition of ‘truth’ <br /> <br />Which I found in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld <br />law that belief always manifest in reality, thus <br />faith is the magic ingredient which determines <br />‘truth’ and being <br /> <br />By using beauty and harmony, love and wisdom <br />as guidelines, I choose how much reality to <br />accord any symbol I come across without <br />demanding consistency because <br /> <br />Quantum physics allows for everything to be <br />possible in an infinity of space and time; I do <br />not allow assumptions & preconceptions <br />to limit my mental freedom <br /> <br />As I strive to embrace everything which inspires <br />wonder, love and respect in my heart, no contra- <br />diction allowed to spoil my delight in variety <br />as the spice of life<br /><br />Margaret Alice Second<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/delight-in-variety/
