Curious Mind

Apart

When he dropped the microphone
the cord and mike flew apart.
Leaving them aside,
he continued speaking.

in contrast many of
the brothers and sisters
are disconnected
and not speaking

yes, they apppear to
speak, but their ears
hear only words
agreeable to themselves

their hearts are nulled
to any difference
of thought or practice
labeling it negatively

one large disconnect
concerns whether,
are we created?
are we an unfolding mystery?

should we learn about
what is going on?
should we read the book
and wait for revelation?

do we merely
cancel out one another?
with conclusive faith
contesting evidence?

what can we do
to open our
hearts and ears
to benefit us all?
