Answer Lies in a Dream
Ax.Barajas 1980 (Illinois)
One day Life was seating in his thrown.
Watching the world from above. Sense
of boredom. He wanted to be
entertained.
Got the idea of bringing all of life's
dwellers and creation. In a single night.
Invited all the greatest minds.
( Leonardo da Vinci, Sir Issac Newton,
Galileo, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas
Addison, Aristotle.) Sitting at a
high table.
Pondering Life's questions. Checking
his list. Life came across Albert Einstein.
Who made his appearance.
Astonished, eager and with great honor.
Called for attention. Asking him a
question. Before heading to the table.
Without hesitation.
Life asked, Do you believe in God?
Albert Einstein paused for the moment.
Stood silent. While life stared with a
small grin across his face.
He responded No! Never. A huge
commotion rattled the entire crowd.
Conserving his posture.
I don't believe in God. Dismayed and
disbelief.
Caught Life by surprise.
So Life insisted him to explain.
Why do you not believe in God.
Albert Einstein responded as he
looked at life. I don't believe in God
because it is easier to believe. Then
to know. Life listened carefully. To
believe makes it seem so small. Loses
focus. To know is much bigger. Makes
it more grand.
Therefore; I don't believe in God.
Life recovers his composure. Interested.
Asks to continue. Albert Einstein says
calmly. I don't believe because to
believe there is no argument and
something that can't be argued it can't
make better.
And to know every time there can be
argument and with argue. You can
make better.
A person who walks the earth. Who
believes. His believe stays, remains
here on this earth.
But to know, you can reform, shift,
activate your brain impulses.
It's part of you, universal, infinite.
Goes with you. And that is when you
have contact with Him.
Believe Einstein says. Believe to me
makes it seem so ambiguous. People
only believe when they need Him.
By this time Life was intrigued and
insisted him to continue.
Albert explained. That is why small
towns that believe go about believing
grow very little and do not prosper.
Believe is so bad. That believe makes
all people believe, believe and wait.
The people who know, know by heart,
Know by mind. Know and act.
I rather know and act. Then believe
and wait. That is why every time I do
anything.
I am not believing who will come and
help me. No I am not. I know I am not
alone and that He is with me.
With that being said. Leave it to know
and don't say you believe.
To know is to know in your heart.
Life creation is all around us.
All is possible.
Life got up and was impressed.
Applauding such an answer.
Einstein made his way to the table.
Thank the night and all who
witnessed. Life was pleased
and amused. Raising his hands
and with a firm voice. Thank all the
great minds that where present
Take away what you saw. Learn
each day and go fulfill your own believe
or knowing. The choice is in your hands.
With a mighty portal parting the sky
Sending back all human race.
Just like that Life walked away. With
a single glare disappeared into the stars.
Everything turned dark and was quiet.
Till the buzzing of my alarm went off.
-X.barajas
