Understanding means nothing. I can explain God to you for a thousand years and you'll still be exactly as lost as when we started. But do one righteous thing - one - and suddenly you know more than every theologian who ever lived. The highest truth doesn't live in books or

Met a friendly dude hiking up Mt Si at the same time as me late in the afternoon. We ended up chatting and hiking the whole way together and at the top we saw mountain goats and took pictures for each other. This one he snapped without me knowing and send it to me later 🙃

My friend @soundrotator told me about a fractal conception of god that goes like this: Imagine you are like a kidney cell amongst kidney cells. You simply *cannot* understand the emergent agency that you are a part of – aka a Person. No amount of philosophizing is going to help

“I must suffer to show that I care” is a memetic virus.
