Don’t say why, say how.
Why presupposes an
unattainable degree
of reason, as in truth.
Happiness happened
in graduate school, with
wonder and growing edges
always in process,
Connecting in the same
tongue searching for the
how, puzzled by all the
unsolved mysteries
All the learning not
yet used! The flying bishop,
prophetic dreams, who,
what when where how
The tip of the plow
still unearthing that
which might be now
or in the future.
Could quantum mechanics,
going with the flow, free us
to occupy a niche in
our haunted cave?
I’m still curious and
not willing to leave my
lust for understanding
back with my bones.
Should that occur, I shall
go out hollering and hope
to transition into someone
else’s Muse.

Thanks for your reply. I’d like to see your poem. Is it on your blog? Not to nit pick, but an evolving truth by defnition isn’t true at any one time, is it, while how it is now can point toward what may become true in the future…or not. Trainning in psychotherapy recommends asking “how is i that…” rather than “why,” becuse people aren’t fully cognizant of all that has gone into their behavior, or thoughts. It is likewise fruitless to ask children “why.”
Experiments involving the non-conscious reveal an increasingly large role in “free choice.” I recently read Labatut’s book “When we Cease to Understand the World,” which among other things explores the failure of quantam mechanics to clarify reality,.
