Where is the distinction between that which is known and who or what is doing the knowing? Where resides the golden essence of consciousness? Is 'Reason' merely a collection of flash images and biological experiences which have assembled themselves in a physical plane in time and space-? By what pinciple does what is called mind held in a cohesive unity?- How can consciousness be known without another consciousness knowing it?- Can one claim to possess 'reason' or is 'reason' the property of another?- Do we live, and move, and breathe within the sustaining revelation of the divine, or do we find our 'awakeness' as a hypnotic trick within a cosmic probability?- Can I love you without a God,or must God teach me what love is? Is there a human love with which we love God and man, and if there is why do we look for a principle of love outside ourselves, and why have we not perfected the very love we claim we have contrived by virtue of our own nature and reason?- Who IS the giver of Love? How long will we chase the shadows of a failing history and allow dead philosophers and bad tempered people dictate what is our rightful heritage.. which is the tree of Life.. These and other questions taunt my mind as I pour my 25th cup of coffee..

Hmmmm Cafe, a thought provoking write, though not religious, my thought is that love just "Is", it is not made, cannot be contrived, is within, not without.....is the reason for it's own existence, therefor just "IS".....

Cafe my friend, i reached the 12th cup of coffee, thinking of this intriguing poem. For the beginning i will take into consideration that we are all Givers. Still pending for a more targeted response. Great piece of work !

Hi cafe
If you don't mind me saying, I think you are at your best when in philosophical mode... and this is a great write with you dwelling on all the imponderables...
An enjoyable read...
