A Cognizant Journey
By Brett A. Starr on May 3, 2020
I thought you’d like to know
Of a place that you can go
Of intelligent design
Within the human mind

​The few who take the quest
Will benefit the best
Examine every line
And take capacious time

Or the mathematical instruction
Of numerical reduction
Or the mysterious Knight’s Tour
A path of brilliant lure

You can imagine how someone planning the routes for delivery drivers would be interested in finding such a minimal cost solution (consider the USPS or FedEx, for example). Instead of chess board squares, the locations are mailboxes or homes scheduled for delivery for the day.

​
Combine imagination
On a journey of fascination
And grasp each thought vibration
In your mind of contemplation
​
Then rest and let it go
Let the winding river flow
Into a Pool of Prominence
Collective cognizance.
