“It is possible that our race may be an accident, in a meaningless universe, living its brief life uncared for, on this dark, cooling star: but even so - and all the more - what marvelous creatures we are! What fairy story, what tale from the Arabian Nights of the jinns, is a hundredth part as wonderful as this true fairy story of simians! It is so much more heartening, too, than the tales we invent. A universe capable of giving birth to many such accidents is - blind or not - a good world to live in, a promising universe. . . .

“That's what Hanukkah is about: trying to survive the darkness on the far-fetched hope there's still some life and light left in the universe. It's more than just a religious story. The days have been growing shorter, imperceptibly but inescapably darker.... Heading into the night of the winter solstice, every spiritual tradition has some kind of festival of light. We're all just whistling in the dark, hoping against hope that someone up there will see these little Hanukkah candles and get the hint.” TryingKindLittlesHas BeensStillsStoriesLightSpiritualNightUniverseLeftReligiousDarkDarknessGrowingTraditionWinterCandleFestivalsHintsHeadingsWhistlingHanukkahSolsticeWinter Solstice Book:I'm God, You're Not: Observations on Organized Religion & Other Disguises of the Ego Source: I'm God, You're Not: Observations on Organized Religion & Other Disguises of the Ego
“Walking uplifts the spirit. Breathe out the poisons of tension, stress, and worry; breathe in the power of God. Send forth little silent prayers of goodwill toward those you meet. Walk with a sense of being a part of a vast universe. Consider the thousands of miles of earth beneath your feet; think of the limitless expanse of space above your head. Walk in awe, wonder, and humility. Walk at all times of day. In the early morning when the world is just waking up. Late at night under the stars. Along a busy city street at noontime.” ThinkingWorldLittlesEarthSpiritNightSpiritualityUniverseStarsPrayerSpaceWalksCitiesWonderMorningWorryFeetStreetsHumilityWalkingLateStressWake UpSilentBusyBreatheMilesAll TimeUpliftingTensionPoisonAweWakingLimitlessGoodwillPower Of GodEarly MorningExpanseTime Of DayCity StreetsSilent PrayerStress And Worry Author:Bill Vaughan
“I suppose my interest in looking for life elsewhere in the universe really dates back to my teens. What teenager doesn't look up at the sky at night and think am I alone in the universe?

“The medieval theologian who gazed at the night sky through the eyes of Aristotle and saw angels moving the spheres in harmony has become the modern cosmologist who gazes at the same sky through the eyes of Einstein and sees the hand of God not in angels but in the constants of nature. When confronted with the order and beauty of the universe and the strange coincidences of nature, it¹s very tempting to take the leap of faith from science into religion.
