Favorite Quote:
“Supposing there was no intelligence behind the universe, no creative mind. In that case, nobody designed my brain for the purpose of thinking. It is merely that when the atoms inside my skull happen, for physical or chemical reasons, to arrange themselves in a certain way, this gives me, as a by-product, the sensation I call thought. But, if so, how can I trust my own thinking to be true? It's like upsetting a milk jug and hoping that the way it splashes itself will give you a map of London. But if I can't trust my own thinking, of course I can't trust the arguments leading to Atheism, and therefore have no reason to be an Atheist, or anything else. Unless I believe in God, I cannot believe in thought: so I can never use thought to disbelieve in God.”


The Seeds you've sown are now reaping,

Anger, distress, sorrow, weeping,

You may not have known, what you've done,

But take it to heart that things are broken,

 Things unspoken,

Might just be...

What you didn't know was already sore,

Things already touched by grief,

Sometimes better,

 To leave things be.

For the better or worse.

I wrote this when I was around 11 after I got mad at my mom for not listening me, and getting me in trouble for something my sister did!
