Life begins

Once more the temptation of eugenics hits the media.  The more we find out, the more temptations we wrestle with, it seems.  Of course every new bit of information, of testing possibility, offers the thought that maybe now we will fully understand.  The Tree of Knowledge continues to bear fruit.  The fruit always comes with temptation to consume it in ways which don*t comprehend lasting consequences.

Life begins
Way before conception,
Before the twinkle,
Before the imagination
Of any two people,
Way before any two people,
Even the original two.
Life begins
And begins
And begins again.
There is no end
To its beginning.
Life does not depend
Upon tests or knowledge,
No permutations
Our minds and hearts may allow.
Life begins when God separates
The light
From the dark.
Oh and even
Before that.
