The Universe Is Natural



When I became convinced that the universe is natural, that all the ghosts and gods are myths, there entered into my brain, into my soul, into every drop of my blood the sense, the feeling, the joy of freedom. The walls of my prison crumbled and fell. The dungeon was flooded with light and all the bolts and bars and manacles became dust.


Robert Green Ingersoll 1833-1899

(I already posted this favorite quote on facebook. Call it recycled?)

I love that.

I'm fading out of FB. Apparently not what I need or want.

great quote. I had an experience like this while lying in my sleeping bag gazing at the night sky from the Los Padres National Forest. Pure bliss.
