Analysis of Grand Mosaic



From the outer regions of space to internal realms of the mind
follow the incipient trace:
majestic the mysteries divine.

Listen to the Dalai Lama and echoes from Albert Einstein
discussing the panorama
of science and spirit in time.

Mix logic and intuition, be skeptical and still wonder,
analyze, yet use perception:
combine them to avoid sunder.

Consider the mere ameba, though simple, never prosaic.
Witness the exploding nova,
all part of the grand mosaic.

The vastness of the universe, galaxies ever expanding,
relationships are all obverse:
entities of equal being.
