One thing I have long since given up is expecting God to play "fair" by human standards. Or to judge God by human standards.

Science hands us fact after fact we are not in a position to independently verify. Our primary activity is to discriminate among sources, rating reliability. A tremendous amount of change and amazing technological feats have been achieved in the last century. It was no small feat just flying across the Atlantic ocean , and then only decades later we're finding ourselves standing on the moon <g> We live in a world of miracles everyday by Biblical standards , all these new "facts" and terrific changes themselves but that our own consciousness and relationship to the universe is always subtely transformed by these things. It is the problem for us and what the artist or the poet must try to do is to relate the actuality of the contemporary circumstances to the elementary within us ...and restore a sense of the "resplendant". In other words , how do we enjoy the benefits of all this change ,maintain a harmony with nature(ouselves) and still train ourselves to see the original glory going forward ? There is a wonder & resonance in living life ...a radiance inherent in being alive & achievement, and a dignity that comes with the freedom to explore and see this . In the best of all possible worlds ....of course. Life the "Great Experience"... ;-)
