To Better Understand

To better understand:

as it is, I admire scientist and mystic equally so, each being an explorer of the infinite measure of the mind, seeking to better understand the mysteries of the world just a bit more and share it with us all. Both, with a language of their own, tell their point in stories, with metaphors used for better explanation of what really can't be told with words. Scientist and mystics are poets in a way. I find their language beautiful, a vivid description of the world with the end result of both being seamless in my view. Science tells of my belonging to a world that only appears solid and sure, describing things as both wave and form, matter and immaterial. I am fascinated by my ancient origins, traced through evolution to the Big Bang itself. I am truly older than the stars. Mystics tell a similar tale of consciousness and tie it all together in a seamless fashion. I belong to the world because I am no less than an aspect of its whole expression, that I'm even at this moment I am immaterial in spite my appearance as form, an equal trade of matter and void. The mystic uses metaphors of God and soul, a language employed to better understand mysteries that seem to flow from inner to an outer world. 

again, the end result being seamless.

and yet for me, at least right now, there doesn't seem to be anything to better understand. The world simply is - and I belong exactly to it in this way, being immaterial by nature as well as fully functional in form. This is the way that life unfolds, and there's little need for me to question further any reason why this seems to be, at least not by means of seeking answers other than my own. I don't declare myself awakened, wise to the ultimate way of soul or world. 

but awakening, yes...

there's no better understanding for me now, that I enjoy the language of science and mystic alike, but no story ever captures this aliveness, and wordless, there's only the acceptance of life's flow, intimately immersed by moments of selflessness to self without need of explanation. I understand nothing...

and smile at this conclusion.
