A Simple Evidence

                             I am a thinking being

                             I think, therefore I am.

                                                    

                                   (Descartes, Rene)

                                                      

I am a thinking being

I think, therefore I am

Whatever I think

I only know

Why do I think?

How do I think?

I do not know

Whatever you think

You only know

Why do you think?

How do you think?

You do not know

From which source does this thinking spring?

Nobody knows

You are my thought

I think of you

It means you are

I am your thought

You think of me

It means I am

I think there is yonder a star

It signifies that it exists

And you think of the milky way

You don't see with your naked eyes

But your thought proves its existence



Thus while I think that there is God

Whose entity I presume above board

Whose perfection I never doubt

Whose beauty and grace I ever adore

Can you tell me?

Whence does this thought enter my mind?

One must say it has come from God Who does exist



He does exist not ony here

Not only there but everywhere

Who generated into my mind this noble thought?



It stands to reason that it is none but God Himself

His attributes are here and there

His signs and clues are everywhere

In the sweet fragrance of roses

In the diverse hues of butterflies

In tiny green lights of glow-worms

In the scented magnolia trees

In rustling of wind in the trees

In deepening dales, in winding streams

In the sweet songs of nigtingales

In the softly lighted cathedral

In high minarets and domes of mosques

In twinkling stars and Milky Ways

In high mountains and darkening clouds

In rainbow, shimmering of moonlight

In waterfalls, fountains and lakes

In lightnings, thunder and earthquakes



I think of God

Whose reflections I ever sought

I love my God

Whose subtle glimpses I always caught

I have never read anything worded so perfectly. It is simple, yet complex. It tells me things which I may already know, yet have not had the opportunity to read in such a way as you put them. I have wanted to write on the same topic but could not find the words. You have written what so many people think but did not know how to express. This is put together so well, period. Valerie (my mother inlaw) read this to me tonight and I was in awe, speechless. If you do not mind I want to print this out because it helps me deal with something going on my personal life. Feel free to write me back, I would like that actually. Carmen Benjamin

The thought. Not many people stop to think, "where" does the thought emerge from. I've meditated on this many times, and "think" the "thought" comes from the gap, but now I find myself searching for the gap. It proves to be and endless enligtening journey. You wrote quite a masterful thought provoking piece!
