Wish I had said or found that
Courtesy of Lulu umm-Ibrahim:
There are those that say," Nothing lasts."
They're wrong. Every moment they say,
"If there were some other reality.
I would have seen it. I would have known about it."
Because a child doesn't understand a chain of reasoning,
should adults give up being rational?
If reasonable people don't feel the presence of love,
within the universe, that doesn't mean it's not there.
Joseph's brothers did not see Joseph's beauty,
but Jacob never lost sight of it. Moses at first
saw only a wooden staff, but to his other seeing
it was a viper and a cause of panic.
Eye-sight is in conflict with inner knowing.
Moses' hand is a hand and a source of light.
These matters are as real as the infinite is real,
but they seem religious fantasies to some,
to those who believe only in the reality
of the sexual organs and the digestive tract.
Don't mention the Friend to those.
To others, sex and hunger are fading images,
and the Friend is more constantly,solidly here.
Let the former go to their church, and we'll go to ours.
Don't talk long to skeptics or to those who claim to be atheists.
Don't talk to atheists long about religion...they will be depressing.
