Under the glaring hot
Light of empiricism
God can not be found.

- Comment from author about the poem: Close enough to being a real 5-7-5 Haiku especially considering some folk in Texas pronounce “glaring” as “glairn”. None-the-less this one was not published until now. Fragment No. 2 of many more to come. This one from my small green “Memoranda” notebook dated August 28, 2019.

'Tis true. We can't go by our senses alone. Thomas a Kempis, a wise monk, said: 'Subject our reason (senses, etc) to faith'.
Well stated O, thanks for bringing up Br. Kempis!
'no mind, no matter' is what came of all that empiricism dialectic (thanks for the word btw)..
but personally, if spirituality is your chosen avenue for solace, I doubt any obstacle will prevent you finding your path,
we must embrace all and temper our chosen belief systems or diverse 'way of life', against everything we come across,
thereby insuring our chosen source of courage and self preservation only gets stronger,
while simultaneously becoming more aware and respectfully tolerant of others who may have chosen a different path in life
Yes LB, I like to think we’re all on one, all encompassing truth continuum of sorts; each of us occupying a certain place within it, heading, in our own time and path toward the same, One and singular Truth.
