i'd hoped for you to read demon haunted world but realised what's the point, you are entirely secular anyway and believe in nothing. would you convert for me? i believe in nothing too but am not entirely secular my spirit is just my shadow, i do not lose faith for i do not have it. when you have not laughed for days it is strange to. isn't this contradictory carl sagan was an atheist or agnostic yet i find a spiritual impetus to his science but i might radically misunderstand spirit, yet spirit is the "life essence into material" part anyway isn't it and soul is the divine part so maybe i'm deifying the spirit because i have no soul or i am confusing the spirit and soul or maybe i radically misunderstand the soul
why have you brought me to this strange temple, barren fires and dusty altar? why place my thirsty hands on your shoulder blades - is it to remind me they were wings? only the moon prays here on a wet night cradling the ruins the living haunt the streets and the dead just sleep
why have you brought me here and not made me kneel or wash or sacrifice or lent me a scripture. i've seen this place filled with sea, tears, children ran across it before that and animals grazed, and now i must step here, is it for the sake of justice or destiny that i am brought here, led on a blind leash and brought to an urn containing my own ashes
