The Nature Of Truth - A Science Fiction Poem Comments

Is it not better to live each fragment of time fully, to listen to the music of the present for its temporary glory, to absorb each day's partial truth, and to embrace the inevitable darkness of night, as our dreams anticipate moments of wonders yet to come? i like this, daniel. and within it, to listen to the music of the present for its temporary glory... i like it as poetry, and i like it because it strikes me as so characteristic of you. and yes, it is better. and it's all we have. i think of a noticing that was a long time in coming in my journey as a christian, that nowhere in the sermon in the mount does jesus tell us we're blessed when we have the perfect doctrine. —as if anyone could have it. i associate this with the kind of hairsplitting of those who think the whole truth is theirs and no one else's who's not in their camp. (please pardon me if i've mentioned this before; it's a foundational stone in my understanding.) may we duck at the right time and treasure in our hearts the partial truths that nourish us. glen

Truth is indeed a mystery. And we all might have our own different truths. But yes, one thing is common, it's hard to find Wholeness in the world. We might put the pieces n fragments together but there are always cracks that won't give us a clear picture. It's lovely to imagine the worlds beyond ours n i love the way your imagination flies to those distant spaces to probe n explore the lives unlike ours. But whatever the world, the Soul of Truth must be the same everywhere, i reckon. What you classify as science fiction is much deeper Daniel. A 10.
