Code Red XD!

"There is a twilight zone in our own hearts that we ourselves cannot see. Even when we know quite a lot about ourselves - our gifts and weaknesses, our ambitions and aspirations, our motives and drives - large parts of ourselves remain in the shadow of consciousness. This is a very good thing. We always will remain partially hidden to ourselves. Other people, especially those who love us, can often see our twilight zones better than we ourselves can. The way we are seen and understood by others is different from the way we see and understand ourselves. We will never fully know the significance of our presence in the lives of our friends. That's a grace, a grace that calls us not only to humility but also to a deep trust in those who love us. It is in the twilight zones of our hearts where true friendships are born." - Henri Nouwen

Muppet's May Hammer

"No government has the right to decide on the truth of scientific principles, nor to prescribe in any way the character of the questions investigated. Neither may a government determine the aesthetic value of artistic creations, nor limit the forms of literacy or artistic expression. Nor should it pronounce on the validity of economic, historic, religious, or philosophical doctrines. Instead it has a duty to its citizens to maintain the freedom, to let those citizens contribute to the further adventure and the development of the human race." - Richard P. Feynman

Dives and Lazarus

...  
  It's another day come what may  
  Words be said and prayers be paid  
  And death comes and debts are paid  
  Look out here we go again  
  That big old wheel it starts again  
  It can't be stopped by mortal men  
  Just step back and settle in  
   
  John Tate

Sugar, Silicon & Dust.

 
  Painted old grey men try to cheat Death's due.  
  By harvesting organs with illusions and lies.  
  Let them go to that lake of fire & Fry.

A conspiracy of Tengu(S)

"Do you have any idea how long I stared at a piece of grass yesterday?  
  ...  
  All I saw was that blade of grass;  
  ...  
  All I saw was that one gilded blade.  
  ...  
  My word did Narcissus have it easy."

Bluebirds & Sunflowers



"Let us fly, let us fly! 
 Old Nick take me if it is not Leviathan described by the noble prophet Moses in the life of patient Job."
