The Universe had
a beginning ...
something caused it
to begin
Measure
with the measured
stones and
stepping akin
Cause and effect
logicians praise
Thomas’ words
like a gun
Space and Time
adopted twins
creating creation
— from zero sum
(The New Room: March, 2025)
Dead Vision Quest
Worshipping
at the altar
of self-destruction
western man enshrined
Paying false homage
to every tree
the forest
in deep decline
Losing his place
among God’s creatures
to wander
far and wide
Asking flawed questions
running in place
consensus
— ill defined

Loved this write it speaks to all. Very nicely worded and composed.
Thanks as always.
Ooh. Hello Saturday morning serenity...presenting Aquinas in such a way that the shots ring out across time and space and cause me to reflect scientifically, philosophically, and spiritually. All of this presented without pretentiousness...allowing the reader to connect to the deeper things as they do. Bravo on this. Seriously! 🌹👏
Thanks Tristan. In graduate school (Jesuit) I was steeped in Thomistic
Philosophy/ Theology. His treatise on the existence of God still stands.
I really enjoy your thoughtful and cogent commenting.
Great weekend !
Kurt
