Unknot the not

Powerful, my friend! Amen. I was just saying that to someone...I don\'t write poetry just for myself. It starts there, of course, but it merely starts there. This applies for all potential...and what a tragedy when one\'s potential is not met. Well done. Urgent message. A fave from me. 🌹👏

Science in a Nazarene\'s hair
Doggerel Dave said:
Your ‘just a poem’ has provoked many detailed and complex responses, Soren. Raises the question: what purpose has ‘just a poem’? I’m not going there – this was just a comment.
My simple mind sees it quite…. simply. Religion and Science try to answer two different questions: Religions asks ‘why’? (and in my view haven’t found the answer yet, but seem very satisfied with their conclusions), while Science continually attempts to answer the question ‘how’ and is never satisfied, realizing the depths of our ignorance and the existence of multiple unknowns.
Finally, there is no need for the \'why\' and \'how\' to ever collide, they should be on two different pathways.

Too much
rrodriguez said:
Soren, your poem, \'Too Much,\' is indeed the lot we all share. But life is beautiful, and there\'s much more for us to experience. I\'ve enjoyed your poem and reflected on it. Life is indeed, at times, \"too much\" to bear.

Weeping
Tristan Robert Lange said:
This speaks of grief and uses what I imagined to be a Weeping Willow Tree as its metaphor. Powerful and true. Grief overrun, unchecked, can shade out any chance of life or growth, leading to decay. As I see it, psychological decay, physiological decay, and spiritual decay. On needs to find balance to have the ability to move from shade to light. Well done, my friend! A fave. 🖤🌹

Sad but beautiful. This is the cycle of life and it\'s beautiful in every way. Happiness, sadness, pain, life, death and decay. We just need to understand it.

Science in a Nazarene\'s hair
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Wow! Profound, my friend. In this I see a wisdom often absent from most discussions on science and religion, often treated as if one is familiar and superior and the other foreign and primitive. Any who are classically trained, however, understand that theology, just like biology or physiology, is one of many schools of science. It is only until more recently that we\'ve limited the word science to mean \"the natural sciences\". Still, all of the sciences, while unique and distinct, do intersect at points and places. And each has their place and wisdom to impart. Even \"dead\" religions and theologies have much to teach us about ourselves, if nothing else. No science, therefore, is foreign to the other, no matter how much it may seem so. In essence, there\'s science in religion and religion in science, both roads lead to deeper human understanding, if harnessed by the right people in the right ways. If not...well, we\'ve all seen the consequences of that both in science and religion. Anywho, this poem has teeth and they really tear through many myths. It doesn\'t take a side, it just presents the view. I love it. Well done, my friend! 🌹👏

Sigh of a storm
falcon_mn said:
I read several of your poems.
Words are chosen and set like artisans decorate their clay pots. With patience and oassion.
I like descriptions of the nature.
Someone who observe the nature with passion can send a message to readers and place the moment of nature play into their minds.
That is a gift
Thanks for sharing your poems and thank you for the comments you give on my poems.

The lines are wonderful, connecting two things I have little knowledge of in one write, science and religion, I would say there is some of each in each, was a very enjoyable read
