THE MULTIVERSE AND I

Without air we can’t breathe, and a windmill can’t turn,
And a fire can’t burn, and we’d die.
Unseen it develops us. Of course we wonder, why?

Electricity surrounds us, and still, till a short time ago
We used kerosene lamps to ‘enlighten’ us. Television, radio,
Airplanes and rockets and outer space travel, they would have blown our mind.
The time has come that within the mind’s realm a new awareness we find.

For nothing has come into being that hasn’t been first thought about.
The mind is one of the greatest powers: a power we can’t do without.

Without it, invisible nuclear power would still be untapped and tame;
Would neither be used to create or destroy; nor would we know its name.

Our minds called into being those invisible titans for good or for ill.
Our minds are something to think about while we still our thoughts at will.

Our minds are giant receiving stations and powerhouses vast.
They receive and send out messages unbelievably fast.

Part of the mind is shut off while another part operates.
How then will the mind be able to study its own hidden traits?

Do our minds have access to others who sense our need?
How do we get our insights? Who is it that plants the seed
That grows into great inventions and lets us see the light?

Positive mood and attitude and positive thought go together.
The deepest sorrow and grief can depart and fly away, light as a feather.

The trick is to learn to clean up our thoughts; to throw out the bad, keep the good.
Evil is merely the absence of good, its existence misunderstood.

Sure people build and people destroy and people live and die.
And people wake and people sleep, and sometimes ask themselves, why?

The answer lies in the awareness that we are part of the Whole and the One.

In rare moments of awareness when All That Is is perceived as one
The biggest, the smallest, the best and the worst, ocean, sand and sky,
Trees, fish and fowl, everything’s one: the multiverse and I.
