EDUCATION CREATES MIRACLES

342nd poem published July 5/2026

What was the first miracle

Going way back in time

As thoughts started to form

And the mind began to climb

Maybe it was wonder 

As the stars blinked overhead

Or the sun came up 

Giving light and ending night’s  dread

Man learned a few things

As the brain began to work

Harnessing thought 

Bursting free from the past’s blinding murk

Learning new things

With the power of observation

Building with experience from  the world  around

Using the brain to create original and new  action 

As the body of knowledge rose

Full fledged in the light

Man had learned new stuff

Seeing diamonds in the rough

The catalyst for miracles

Seems easy to then unfold

As education over millennia

Made knowledge turn to gold

So can it be said as man marches on

The only real wonder was there all along

For education creates miracles

To continue forever and on and on

THE EGO

THE HAIKU POEM OF THE DAY JULY 5, 2026

Brain electrons work

Generating the real mind

Is the ego smart?
