I like his confidence, that working the problem
will certainly result in better outcomes than guessing.
A rationalist who does not depend on a higher power
to direct his decisions, but who may concede,
observe, realize and accept that he lacks the data
or the skills or tools to interpret data and these
decisions he leaves to his god.
                                    But not before
thoroughly assessing the limits of his power. Guessing
before guessing is necessary makes things worse. The skills,
tools and experience are the accumulated wisdom
of earlier experts in his field.
                                    Yet each generation
of communicants must examine the assumptions
from which the mathematics, logic, science or law
was derived. Rebuild the proofs from the simplest
truths, laws, physics. Taking God's first and only words
and extrapolating correctly, getting the trajectory
right for successful take off and re-entry.
                                    And then
to explain the derivations to your students.
Until they too can care for the species and the planet,
making whole sentences, formulas and melodies
from few words, numbers, notes.
"Let's work the problem, people, let's not make things worse by guessing."   --Apollo 13

So quick with words
A lack of logic
There was no words of love
She lives in past
My face full of dirt
A life with no path
A mask full of lies
My heart always torn
So fast to run away
the truth that were lost among the days
The story that need be told
My hopes torn and ripped
So lost in her own thoughts
The ties that were burned
Words left unsaid but never forgotten
The negative is her cancer
I wish u knew  the person that is you

stuck between my mind and heart
between what feels good and what's smart

hoping and knowing
are two different things
hoping is dreaming of being the song he sings

...while knowing is logical and real
I KNOW what I feel
but also know the situation
in which I'm hoping to rid of my isolation

of being alone
though I know what I feel can't be shown
I HOPE to help myself
but KNOW that there's someone else...
You’re a perfect dream
Only lovely in my heart;
But when I wake up,
Daylight shines on me and says,
“He’s perfect, and you are not.”

...meet you at noon cafe
touch gently, heart beating
your body closes mine
a special little kiss, surreal, so right
swathe shy both hearts
enfold you in  my arms
my imagination is unfettered
from the laws of logic
magic rain changes to sun
mountains and oceans dance together
that feeling inside
unquestionable
like stars shine
and moon glows at noon
mind begins to swim
heart still beating
inside, I say:
you're all mine
I can call my own
with and without reasons
logic is unreign
promise tomorrow is at now
always...

the thoughts
running through
my head
i cannot
debug.

(is it time to install
an antivirus?
or to continue to
be stubborn
and
let it
consume me?)
there are 10 kinds of people.
those who understand binary,
and those who cannot.
teehee.

When I misplaced my faith
And had to find
Something to ease my
Questioning mind
I studied
Numerology
Astrology
Reflexology
The Chinese Zodiac
Neglected scientific facts
To try and fill the lack
Of wisdom
Looking for some ego boost
In my spiritually void youth
Such a goofy kook
Believed in spooks
Not spies but ghouls
Walked with other fools
Who thought they could cast spells
That they fought monsters from hell
And battled dream demons
It took a couple of years to transition from
One magical thing to the next
Till I finally settled on the logic of
Reasoning
Science
And love
Of humanity
But at thirty four
I got a whole lot more
To learn

Transformation over time presents bounds and leaps
A different person back then, your conscious asleep

Moments pass and patterns arrange,
In the blink of an eye, it all changed

Planning ahead can be so ironic,
Being here now defies all logic
