Today’s word is “cause célèbre” ... any controversy that attracts great public attention. (Dictionary.com)
Higher
Questions rise to the top,
like the latest cause célèbre.
Where one pops like a giant bubble,
five more take its place.
Because there is no end to complexity,
in the earth or creatures or in ourselves.
We presume to answer all those queries;
as if we were in the know from the beginning,
pondering our books of knowledge,
nodding wisely by candlelight.
But we have no knowledge that enlightens,
that explains our source or the reasons
We are here, or how all of everything
came to be.
And if we can’t determine any of those things,
what do we know that will help us live?
In our humanity we need humility. We need
to depend on wisdom which goes beyond
our own. This is difficult, but the
Only thing which will help us move forward.
