was that life,
continuously dedicated
for understanding...

great philosophers,
teachers, priests
and gods...

gods of science,
in flesh and blood,
searching

but, nonetheless,
they found nothing,
about life.

because that is
what it is, nothing,
some say

or because it's just art,
imagination,
and ending

repeatedly ending...
something is missing,
you may ask.

Men searching, seeking to understand … get a glimpse, but can't see the whole of the answer … only supernatural revelation can do that, fill in the gaps, even help us understand the words we are told, or as much as we need to know. Rhiannon

The seeking it will forever part from our consciousness, but I think the revelation sometimes comes with imagination, dreams, fantasies. Who deals with that better than art?

somethng is always missing, I guess we've just got to look all the more.

 if you can't accept art, passion, love and ending, then is always something missing.
After all it's hard to accept the truth even when it's starring in front of us. Why? Because we don't like easy things. Which makes us so smart as species, probably.

it's all in the probably- probably.

We like "probably" because we can alter it, as sport.

But, is death probable too?
