I Worship Mystery

What makes sense?
God makes sense
at least to many of us
but if not
okay then
mystery makes sense

Data makes sense, too

Of course

Measure
Weigh
Observe
Touch
Taste
Hear
See with my own damned eyes

Data makes sense
a great deal of hard-hitting
ground-level 
common demonstrable observable sense

but 
even within Data
and well-considered research

there is error
there is lack of understanding
there are unknowns

unknown
variables
equations
conclusions

unknown unknowns

and 
unknowns are a mystery
thus
mystery makes sense
like data
like research
mystery is just as observable
as data that way

We can count on mystery
even as we don't understand it
and we can count on not understanding mystery
even as we explore it

I worship mystery
and call It God
