“Musings Under The Oaks: Tally -Ho!”

The Tree of Life. (Credit: Avery Anderson) 

 

There comes a point where 
Reason and common sense
Can take us no further.
 
We face the abyss
Having no knowledge
Of what and why
There should be 
Anything at all, 
Much less this.
 
This it’s time to make
The great leap of faith
One way or the other…
 
Will it be Yes
Will it be it be No?
 
One way or another
This is the moment of 
The great “Talley-Ho!”
