con·science: early 13c., from O.Fr. conscience...from L. conscientia "knowledge within oneself, sense of right, a moral sense," from conscientem (nom. consciens), prp. of conscire "be (mutually) aware," from com- "with," or "thoroughly" (see com-) + scire "to know" (see science). Probably a loan-translation of Gk. syneidesis, lit. "with-knowledge." Sometimes nativized in O.E./M.E. as inwit. Russian also uses a loan-translation, so-vest, "conscience," lit. "with-knowledge."

Magnetism

Feel something right inside --
it may be you aligning with something

ancient as the desire to save your own life

which evolution says

goes way back

way before Jesus, even.

Feel that and then listen

as the chorus of angels

exhales unanimous relief

which escapes as energy

which is transformed as it passes

through time and material

such that when it gets to you

it is a webpage, an out of place shoe,

the rain

the magnetism that

swirled all those things

round you

even pulled down

a part of the sky

to show you that

love

real.
