Mind ..what you think..(1)

---

Newton: “(my job, in the scientific endeavour is simply) …thinking God’s thoughts after him..”

Einstein: “i want to know God’s thoughts - the rest are details”

---

What’s this that’s come into my mind jest now? -

the thought of where our thoughts come from & go.

And whether God who made the world somehow 

would all my thoughts, desires, and mind just know?

And if this God; not “male” or “female” by 

our own conceptions, as a child might think;

but by that practice where the “male” would try 

to stand for male and female on the brink

of knowledge & connecting in the wild

with things unknown or diff’rent that process.

The God’s much bigger, & ‘tswe who’re styled

to be as male and female - God's likeness*.

And as such, male and female form a whole

that's meant to be the likeness here of God. 

Where each could learn to not see pow’r as sole-

-ly what wins out at end; for there’s a lot

that's given just by love - and it's not blind,

though sometimes it would choose to act that way,

for purposes that power cannot find 

it ever can quite see. It cannot say.

I’m wondering if that's a metaphor 

that's meant to lead us on to further ways

to partner up with what we're put here for,

and thus to learn the ways that love displays.

If thoughts are known to God, could we know his -

(as Newton and old Einstein had claimed)?

What tones and textures make us think that “This, 

is “his” voice.” As do sheep, & dogs we’ve named.

*  “Then God said, ‘Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.’ 27So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” (‭Genesis 1:26-27 NIVUK‬)

Paul, an emissary of the Lord Christ to some  new followers of the Lord: “..for, ‘Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?’ But we have the mind of Christ. (‭1 Corinthians 2:16 NIVUK‬)
