"I suffered for my art; now it's your turn."
- Rich Richardson
------------------------
Today one of the kids asked me - if a lion were here,
would I be afraid?
------------------------
Unless we are prepared to confront immortality, there
will always be a cause of death.
----------------------------
my line which need not continue
-------------------------
Or the other kid on the bus, when I was trying to explain
that the Titanic was a real ship, but that the movie was pretend, who asked,
pointing at the bus around us, if this was real
---------------------
The place between art and science, where the internal
and external worlds melt together
-------------------
a melted candle of a man
-------------------
terrible feeling that God has wasted his life.
I don't understand how anyone could not want to die.
---------------------
and at the concert that evening
the enthusiasm of the crowd only filled me with existential
horror
---------------------
insight that God designed sin as an element to a more
economical universe
so that a separate Hell would be unnecessary
so that Heaven would be unnecessary
