Like a bumblebee
tracing a meandering path
through the multiple blooms,
cross-pollinating as she flies,
my curious mind
wanders the multiple fields
of human endeavour—
from the spiritually sublime
to the minutiae of science,
and the mysteries of metaphysics
to the fleeting beauty of art
and the multiple distractions of Netflix—
weaving together a grand synthesis,
a possible connection
through the myriads of networks,
a path through the mind’s meadows,
always following subtle perfumes
that intoxicate the soul
and deepen the understanding
of the complexities of being human,
while uncovering the hidden harmonies
and the ultimate simplicity
of one universe
at play within itself.

Like Magister Ludi
in the Glass Bead Game,
the curating of experience
threads its own
journey to the east,
celebrating the mystery
that permeates every strand
of the human story—
God uncovering God
in the unfolding
of the Great Mystery.
