Jump-Rope Rhyme (Tom Hansen)
Tat tvam asi: thou art that- that leaf, that tree, that cow, that cat, that cloud, that sky, that moon, that sun, that you, that I- for all are one. So here you are and there you go and who you were you hardly know. I think this I is only me: a drip, a drop, but not the sea. Yet when I wake from all these dreams, then like the snake, I'll shed what seems: this mask, this skin, this ball and chain. I will begin to fall like rain. Our heart's last home: the wind-whipped foam, the sweet, deep sea. Tat tvam asi. "The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it."
"Reading made Don Quixote a gentleman, but believing what he read made him mad. " "You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race. " George Bernard Shaw |

QUOTE he man who doesn't believe in God does he ever by anything get awed? Do wonders amaze him? Do miracles faze him? Does the order of the universe not stun him? does the desire to know not burn him? Will one such guy on HF here check his blog and write some more? I do not believe in the idea of God Far as I am concerned, it is a Fraud I was born in a religion, the one I begot Using my reasons, this god I forgot In wonders & miracles, I absolutely believe not In my heart for human kindness, there is a slot I would rather use reason, with a mind that is clear For that which u call creator, neither there is love, nor fear A thought for fellow HFer's i would hold very dear It does'nt matter whether they r far or near I am a keen enthusiast of universal order & natural selection But all this I do not attribute to any supernatural creation. I believe in science, which uses factual data & logic Unlike the creationists, who rather believe in magic. Science is rational, public, and verifiable , Religion is highly irrational and despicable. I rest my case, promising to go sometime to my BLOG What else can be done, I am a dumb stupid FROG "The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it."
