Strange

Strange

Imagine for a minute

How strangely

Arranged the world

We live in might be---

Well, you can be certain

That no matter what

You happen to imagine,

It's arranged stranger than that

Everything that lives has a soul---

Tiny bits of the divine

Distributed in equal measure

Among many trillions of living beings

When comes the day

You happen into your own soul

You'll likely think you've found God

We all live in a giant sea of life

On a tiny blue dot up in the sky

Life here extends fifty thousand feet

Up into the air

And about eight thousand feet

Down into the ground

Look around my friend, you live

About eight thousand feet

Up from the bottom

In a grand ocean of souls

And most of us live our entire lives

Without ever knowing it

Pretty much everything

In the Universe is connected

To everything else

In a vast, vast, intricately woven

Sea of connections

And those goofy little ditties

Of creativity that we call intelligence

Are just the ability

Of our minds

To notice and utilize

The tiny, tiny fraction

Of all those connections

That we are adapted and able

To find relevant

And the links of causation

We've built our sciences

And logic around?

Those are just special cases

Of inference that we're adapted

To perceive and use

Life is art in motion

An artist is one who is able

To find tiny pieces of what's enchanted

And put them to paper,

Canvas or string

Though often it remains hidden

By the illusion of our waking dreams

In our Universe, love, humor,

Grace and beauty prevail

And deep in our souls

We each already know it
