Call It Soul

We'll call it soul: 

this is about soul, making a case for it's existence, an argument that some essence, a force, and here we'll call it soul -  holds us to this specific structure of cells, molecules, atoms, particles and further to an absolute void. That somehow, and all from a collection of these infinitesimally small parts swirling through the vast emptiness of the cosmos, we find that we exist, we're aware, and providing some meaning to the world. 

and here, we'll call it soul.

but this isn't a claim of anything ever lasting, not in a personal sense at least, that information is beyond our ken, or it is mine, and I suspect it's a mystery not soon, if ever solved. Mystics call it divine and leave it mostly undefined, without need for details that satisfy the mind. Science, so far, has no use for it, being barely a consideration and leave it to philosophers and theologians to ponder. And for them it's mostly theories, speculation, stories. It's the mystics and yogis that fascinate me, their deep dive within this impersonal mystery for information the defines them as a person, more so, that hints of what they truly are beyond the limits of personality and body. 

they're exploration of the soul. 

science tells us that their are four fundamental forces of nature, this is what holds the world together, governing everything that happens in the universe. There is gravity, weak force, electromagnetism, and the strong force. This is a fascinating collection of forces, and the science is way past my limited understanding and ability to describe. It amazes me the secrets that science has uncovered, continuing to do so, and yet still never arriving to a reason why - we simply have no idea why the universe arranges itself in such a fashion that we find ourselves alive, aware, and participating in its story. Mystics and science agree that this all a mystery. 

but here...we'll call it soul. 

without need of qualifications or description. 

it's enough to be alive, aware, existing by this grace of mystery.
