Not to extend, to my friends 

gathered here, my gratitude 

 

for their compliance 

to move our alliance 

to our three coins 

 

joined together on banners 

displayed to be raised 

 

to new levels of 

forceful, focused exertion, 

like the tastes in soup 

 

merge their individual 

quality to be cradled

 

into uniquely 

tasteful nourishment needed 

for development, 

 

would be a mockery of 

true unity and respect 

 

for common efforts 

to work all together which 

comports the best change.

In this same fashion, the range 

of defense greatly improves 

 

when all persons move 

their self-reliance into 

consolidated, 

 

cooperative actions 

dedicated to preserve 

 

the precepts we serve. 

Diversity of talents 

likewise benefits 

 

defense as well as easing 

each citizen’s deficits. 

 

Hence, stewards and guilds 

fill in the interior 

space of bonded lace,

 

 delicately fine, to bind 

diverse individuals 

 

into molecules 

forming complex compounds bound 

by allegiances 

 

to fend off grievances from 

invading, scathing forces 

determined to scoff 

at peaceful harmonious 

paths of existence. 

 

Bob’s Guild of Consilience 

charts the frame of reference 

 

that became our 

parameter to impart 

the territory 

 

in which our present tasks 

complement past assertions 

 

rendering bridges 

conciliatory to 

future advancement.

Robert Winston’s position,

as the generator for 

 

conveying piecemeal 

facts from reductionism’s 

scientific tracks 

 

has revealed discrete footprints 

guiding the way that impacts 

specific core truths 

hidden away deeply in 

Math’s multilayered 

 

display of Reality’s 

fractal formula behind 

 

the fine, infinite, 

ongoing opera of 

evolution’s course. 

 

The Higgs Boson is but one 

force in this operatic 

 

concourse and ballet 

that will portray the threshold 

for the tangible 

 

and intangible, twofold, 

evolutionary role 

 

to manifest and 

educate intelligence 

through real consequence. 

 

Reductionism conveys 

singular specifics that 

 

must be then woven 

into juxtaposed places 

with blurred boundaries 

that conceives a unified 

consilience that’s much more 

 

than the sum of parts 

hung together to tether 

disjointed subjects. 

 

I’m a trainee at the knee 

of Bob Winston to become 

 

one more devotee 

to perceive reality 

as a unified 

 

compound-complex whole with a 

goal to comprehend the soul 

 

of the Universe 

of which I’m one element 

that must be prudent 

 

to wisely execute my 

will to choose how to use my 

 

talents and power 

for more than just me to be 

an honored trustee 

 

among many others who 

agree to serve the bannered 

world view proudly flown 

at all the gatherings of 

those who own the same 

 

unraveling constancy. 

Hence, it is my honor to 

 

represent Bob’s guild 

and facilitate this skilled 

stewardship’s forum. 

 

As such, it behooves me to 

move our attention to 

 

my recollection 

that there are those who propose 

that they are ‘doers’ 

 

as opposed to deep thinkers 

as if ‘doing’ is supreme. 

 

Thinking preceded 

the splitting of the atom. 

Hence, cause-effect chains 

 

contain spots along the path 

that leads to cumulative 

 

gains that pertain to 

advancements or detriments.
