The Non-Believer and The Amazing Offer
“I was a terrible believer in things,but I was also a terrible nonbeliever in things. I was as searching as I was skeptical. I didn’t know where to put my faith,or if there was such a place,or even what the word faith meant, in all of it’s complexity. Everything seemed to be possibly potent and […]

Girl, stop askin’ dem questions. Listen!
“Very few beings really seek knowledge in this world. Mortal or immortal, few really ask.
