I really like this poem. It reflects an urge to know deeper aspects of Supreme Absolute Truth...... My best wishes to you...... One should very strongly desire to know about Lord and pray sincerely. Nothing is better than praying, everything is spiritual life is revealed by the causeless mercy of Supreme Lord. Everything is there at the disposal of a sincere soul...., by the Mercy of Lord.

If there is one, and if he's that wrathful creature of the old testament, well, as Dylan said - roughly in Highway 61 - 'the next time you see him coming you better run'! Laughter is the best medicine. Thanks for the usual brilliant insights and great poetry. Loved the twist in the tail/tale: He may be reading RD and thinking: this might all be true! - If he's reading Hume at the same time! All the best for 2007.

Your superior writing and insight is appreciated. I too am amazed by the term, 'act of God' as employed by insurance adjustors. The only possible translation is, 'God did it to you so we're not paying.' A well known evangelist, that I don't normally care much about, addressed a crowd of about 18,000 gathered to assist with recovery after a mammoth flood in the St. Louis area, extended his arm over the crowd and said, 'This is an act of God.'
