There are as many perspectives on
the nature of God as there are people.

the nature of God is an unanswerable question.

Perhaps the nature of God is so complex and multifaceted
that each view of God describes an aspect of the complex whole.
Or perhaps the nature of God is actually defined by our beliefs.

The greatest battle of all is simply... Life.
This is no child's game. This is the big one -
the Super Bowl - the Game of all games.
The rules of Life are unwritten and unknown.
Perhaps, one could say that there are no rules.
The Judge has ultimate power.
She can call the game at any time - for any reason.
The penalties in the Game are completely arbitrary -
in both timing and severity.
Penalty for what, we ask?
The Judge is silent.
How can I win the Game?
"You can never win," comes the answer,
"So just take pleasure in playing the Game."
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Sharpen your pencil as you create the story of your life.

even more sharply by applying your focused effort.
- Mary Anne Radmacher

At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected?
I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us.

through all time, or die by suicide.

Soon we'll be sliding down the razor blade of life.

Hearts full of youth,
Hearts full of truth,
Six parts gin to one part vermouth.

album: An Evening Wasted With Tom Lehrer

New Year's eve is like every other night;

no breathless moment of silence among created things
that the passage of another twelve months may be noted;

that come with the coming of darkness on other nights.
