Dark Energy

by Tony Whitaker

I have no
solution of an
illusion or any
delusion to the
solution to the
problem of the cosmic
question which to answer would
create a chasm in the
chaos of the
universe.
The problem with the
problem is the
solution before those who
jump to conclusions not taking
time becomes a
problem with their own
solutions to
conclusions of their own.
But before man may find a
solution to this
solution we must ask can the
solution if there is no
problem become a
problem which to
fix may cause another
problem.
So a solution may cause
that which one does not
want from the solution
or the attempted dilution
of the
problem.

Whew...I am glad I did not miss this one! Rich and suggestive, the topic is huge and mystifying, but your language has an incisive clarity that either came in a brilliant swoop or is the result of years of thinking. Probably both? In the center the "not taking time" as a key to not understanding things and (jumping) to conclusions, of which the solutions are (pseudo) "solutions" of their own conclusions (rather than really thought out examinations of real problems).. I'd say this is the problem with just about everything! Excellent!

Lol! This piece walks me gently through misty morning light, onward into the blinding noon day sun and leaves me at twilight in front of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The temptation to caress the leaves, just for a moment while contemplating the beauty of such succulent fruits... what IS the solution... hmmm... my pick for POTD.

This captures the feeling of confused vulnerability needed for useful contemplation. Is there somewhere to go from here except round and round? I guess that's the question (or one of many, anyway).
