Max Reif - Argument with God

Why not always
this peace, this flow,
this soothing buzz of voices,
this perfect Silence in every
molecule of air?

<i>You have work
to do on earth,
knots of your being to unwind,
your karma to unwind,

and many roads
to travel, still,
to undo roads
you don't
remember traveling.</i>

Why not always
this peace, this flow,
this buzz of voices,
this Silence in the air?

<i>Your learning brings you
opportunities
for greater learning.
You must be dislodged
from your plateaus,
in order to climb higher.</i>
