"There is a language learned in the womb that never needs interpreters. It is a frictional electricity that runs between people. It carries the pertinent information without words. Its meanings are 'I find you are incredibly attractive. I can hardly keep my hands off your body.'"
--Maya Angelou, from "A Song Flung Up to Heaven"
"Religion is a candle inside a multicolored lantern. Everyone looks through a particular color, but the candle is always there."

I think this life is about defining who I am. Even if it's just before the last breath that I take...I have to find it. I think that it's utterly gorgeous how life has a way of replacing and rearranging. I feel like I'm floating down a river and the rapids are getting harder and faster. I know that the waterfall is coming. I'm on the brink of wonderful discoveries.
Religion for me is like an accesory. It might go well with one part of your outfit but sooner or later it's going to clash. Less is always more with accesories. The world is a very spiritual place, ever changing. Why wrap it up and put it in a pretty box? With that said, I think each person must find his own way. I don't care what religious beliefs my friends and loved ones hold, as long as it doesn't involve hurting and oppressing innocent people. It's very fascinating this thing called religion.
I tend to be extremely compassionate to a fault. It's gotten me into trouble it seems more so than the opposite. I'm kidding... I love companionship and friendship. Most people don't seem to understand that family has to tolerate you at some level. I love the concept of friendship much moreso than family. Having to love someone and choosing to love them are quite different feelings altogether.
I love new experiences. There's so much I was sheltered from growing up the son of a preacher man. It can be something as little as a movie or as big as visiting another part of the world.
Above all I love people. I love meeting people and interacting with them, especially sharing stories and experiences. Meeting someone new for me is a chance to gain a friend. I sound like a character from The Sims!
