Comprehension

“She Understands;

She Does Not Comprehend.”

— River Tam

Have you ever seen a shape in a cloud, or a face in a knot of wood? 

Every few months Jesus appears to the unsuspecting in a piece of toast.

Or does He? Human Beings 

are pattern-seeking animals.

For thousands of years, Our Survival depended on being able 

to spot patterns in Nature 

to find predators hiding in 

The Wild.

And so now, centuries later, 

we are still looking, still searching every cloud for faces, 

as if our lives depend on it.

So strong is our belief that 

A Pattern must exist 

that The Human Mind 

will project the pieces that don't fit.

So, where The Pessimist sees Danger 

hiding behind every back, 

The Optimist sees Friendship.

Which is Why, 

When We Encounter Coincidence, 

We often see Conspiracy.
