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.
