FAITH

Man is wise and constantly in quest of more wisdom; but the ultimate wisdom, which deals with beginnings, remains locked in a seed. There it lies, the simplest fact of the universe and at the same time the one which calls forth faith rather than reason.

Hal Borland American Journalist 1900-1978

I am at a loss how to put the meaning of this quite in poetic form, but I think I am pretty sure I know what he is saying.

Man, in all his wisdom, has never been able to unlock the mystery of life by  creation.

Scientists and agnostics have their theories of evolution. Scientist try to prove humanity is not a creation of God, agnostics doubt it is but are not dead set against it. Atheists are repulsed at the mere thought of it.

So it remains a mystery that believers can only embrace through their faith in the existence of God and that we were created in his image.

The seed is the mystery,  believers must have faith in the truth of it.

So....

FAITH

The secret if life and its creation

Is either a fact or just imagination

I hold faith that I know how I'm to be

I believe in God, that's just me

Agnostics hold firm to doubt

But are open to figuring it out

Atheists just refuse to accept a higher power exists

The seed starts from nothing grand, that is what they insist.

I pity those who say they have no soul

They are missing a sense that might make them whole

Walking through life with nothing to see

Is like living their life with no one to be
