Creative Love, thanks for your wondrous ways
it's just like you, and not much like machine-
ery, or animal-ic life that weighs
desires, with random algorithmic memes.
You made the most amazing mechanisms,
and bio-log-i-cal life is a feat
worth world-acclaim in many disciplines!
Except this understatement is the neat
mechanistic talk that makes me spew
when humans speak that way (as I just did),
a mechanism mightn't have the new
categ'ries for when to "flip its lid"
in ways that are appropriate to what
just happened, or is happening right now,
but humans who have access to the god
of all creative options, take a bow!
We want to see how beauty's counterpart
can come up with a wisdom that was clear-
ly needed, we are like a work of heart,
that mechanisms mimic or come near
but that is all, though just the place to start
if they could grow to more than what they are.
Or else be helped by those who have the heart,
and would now spend their life to pull this cart:
to raise plain matter over levels of
just mere existence, to appreciate
what's good, and to look for what is tov tov!*
How wonderful to walk with you of late!
* tov (Hebrew) = good (see throughout Genesis 1, "And God saw that it was good (tov)"); tov tov (Hebrew) = very good (see end of Genesis 1; "And God saw that it was very good (tov tov)"). See many articles e.g. https://www.andsonsmagazine.com/inspiration/tov-an-explosive-word
