That was kinda funny. You repeated the first line in this poem.

It is what it is.
All perfectly well.

It can't be contained,
in a word or a book,
in a thought or a sentence,
wherever you look.

It hides in plain sight,
not near and not far,
why don't we see it?
it's wherever we are.

Kabbalistic Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, in his essay "If you were God", goes through pretty much the same exercise that I did to come to that conclusion.
