Day 276 … September 1st (a band of Mystics)

“For the scientist who has lived by his ‘faith’ in the power of reason,

it all ends like a frightening dream.

He has scaled the mountains of ignorance and is about to conquer its highest peak …

And as he pulls himself up over that final rock,

he is greeted by a jovial band of mystics

who have been sitting there for centuries” ~ Robert Jastrow

In moments of self-focus, we are the scientist, futilely scaling the infinte heights of the The Mystery.

In moments of selflessness, we are the band of Mystics, already knowing all that is to be Known.
