No matter the brave, fierce constructs we build and serve that would have us believe we are each one of us all alone as we make this journey, we make our way toward the end of all things side-by-side in our community of the living each day defying death.

The Road to Faith

It is amazing, to think that God can reveal Himself and His messages to us in every aspect of life, no matter how miniscule or insignificant we may consider these instances to be. In our walks of life, it is easy to ignore what He tries to tell us, or what He tries to show us, because we are often too caught up in our own ambitions to pay any attention. We live in a “get there fast, me first” society. We speed on the roads when we’re late, not caring who we endanger in our paths.

My Bio

'Instruct them how the mind of man becomes
A thousand times more beautiful than the earth
On which he dwells, above this frame of things
(Which, 'mid all revolution in the hopes
And fears of men, doth still remain unchanged)
In beauty exalted, as it is itself
Of quality and fabric more divine.'
- William Wordsworth, The Prelude: Book XIV: Conclusion

Reincarnation

0 min read

The Internet is the only place I know where reincarnation is physically possible. (Or virtually– idk, I'm not Keanu Reeves.) In saying that, I have much respect for Buddhism. Though I'm a Christian, I find the Buddhist focus on Enlightenment interesting. From what little I know, they also emphasise on the importance of meditation and inner harmony which have been useful to me. In fact, neuroplasticity research supports the use of meditation in helping people overcome anxiety disorders such as OCD. I might move to Tibet when I retire. (I think it imperative to underline that I'm referring to Keanu Reeves' performance in The Matrix and
