MIND MATTERS  II

for Joseph Jaworski

      It seems we’ve put the cart before the horse
      In claiming that from matter mind arises;
      With clearer thinking now we find the Source
      Of everything is mind, in many guises.

      So if you’re of a mind to be creative,
      You’d best appeal to something deep within,
      A generative power now seen as native,
      Whence everything emergent must begin.

      By doing so you then participate
      More consciously in how the universe
      Continuously arises to the state
      That it assumes, for better or for worse.

           The mindful way of living then is best
           If you’d live in a world that’s truly blest.
