all that suprasses

I never thought it would bother me so much. But that’s the thing. I didn’t think. You don’t. About this stuff. Until it happens. Then you know. After Pa told me I put away the phone. Pulled over on the side of the road. And threw up.

The other day I was listening to Richard Dawkins talk about “The God Delusion”. How he sees The Divine as a trick of the mind. Religious indoctrination, as a form of child abuse. And theism, as a kind of insanity.

I wont go on about quantum theory versus creationism. But I will say this: Even on a wholly intellectual level, there are some things in some people, that make me believe in a world I’ll never understand.

My grandfather’s stillness…while I’m retching on the side of the road…is one of those things.
