Today's word is "concatenation" ... kon-kat-n-ey-shu n ... a series of interconnected or interdependent things or events. (Dictionary.com)
Beyond
From the Beginning,
before our beginning,
A great concatenation
(most hidden from our eyes)
has led to this fine moment.
Though we study endlessly,
the stars and planets, plants and creatures,
even our minds and selves,
Still, we know nothing of this former opaque state,
nor can our scientists explain,
this time before time began.
All of our numbers and calculations are mere theory,
ideas tossed carelessly about in the vain hope,
that someone's calculations
will become truth.
But the impetus lies hidden,
as even more questions arise.
Only believers can rest,
reassured by things they cannot see,
relayed by their resurrected Lord.
