Essentially i am a wanna-be aspiring Liberation-Theologian, learning on my own. i wander around a lot. i enjoy reading 5 books at a time, thank you AV Library. smoking calms my mind, while hurting my body, it's sort of a living testament of the saying "you take the good with the bad". i drink coffee more than anything else which is probably going to ruin my health. i play in an Anarchist hardcore/punk/ska band Subvert, and love every moment of it. i have dreams where Joe Strummer pops in randomly and says "hello". i bite my nails. i stare at things a lot. i am terrified of having a 9-5 job for the rest of my life. i have quite an active imagination which is fun at times, but most of the time it gets old. i want to get tattoos of words and phrases up and down my arms to remind myself constantly of G-d. an ex-Punk who listens to a wide genre of music. believes that pacifism is the only way to bring about peace. dreams of impossibilities too much. reads Job and is inspired greatly.

i just want the Light.

Remember G-d so much that you are forgotten.
Let the caller and the called disappear;
be lost in the Call. -
What use is your life
if your bones, are not used as wood
for His fire? -Rumi
-
I want to put out the fires of Hell, and burn down the rewards of Paradise. They block the way to G-d. I do not want to worship from fear of punishment or for the promise of reward, but simply for the love of G-d. - Rabia al-Adawiyya
-
To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget. - Arundhati Roy
-
Let Us Take The Risks Of Peace Upon Our Lives, Not Impose The Risks Of War Upon The World. - Quaker Saying
-
They will beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not take up sword
against nation,
nor will they train for war anymore. -
Every warrior's boot used in battle
and every garment rolled in blood
will be destined for burning,
will be fuel for the fire. - Isaiah
-
"Are not the rich and the poor brothers?" asked the young King.
"Ay," answered the man, "and the name of the rich brother is Cain" -
When a Truth becomes a fact it loses all its intellectual value. - Oscar Wilde
We are afraid of religion because it interprets rather than just observes. Religion does not confirm that there are hungry people in the world; it interprets the hungry to be our brethren whom we allow to starve. - Dorothee Sölle
