If you prefer reason, use it for warm ascension, not cold and fancy descension.”

“Miracle Supreme (The Sonnet) Sapiens is shelter, Shelter is sapiens. Only miracle in the world, Is the miracle of kindness. Hateless heart is a living church, External churches are mere counterfeits. Unless you can face hate without hate, Stories of "water to wine" are plain myths. True miracle does not rely on myths, True miracle is the greatest unmiracle. Miracle is an expression of mutation, hence, Mutation of selflessness is the highest miracle. Nobody can walk on water, it is just fairytale. Be human across fairytale 'n lo, you're walking miracle.”
