As he walked along, consciously enjoying the early coolness of the morning, he turned and looked behind him. People often do this and are usually surprised to find that there is some reason for turning around. Sometimes there is no apparent reason and they wonder why they did it. (“Ordeal By Water”) – P.C. Wren, Odd – But Even So: Stories Strangers Than Fiction
Beyond the late Fifties everything faded. When there were no external records that you could refer to, even the outline of your own life lost its sharpness. You remembered huge events which had quite probably not happened, you remembered the details of incidents without being able to recapture their atmosphere, and there were long blank periods to which you could assign nothing. Everything had been different then

Most reject the more repugnant or indefensible dogmas while still holding onto some core belief. Many believers will proudly describe themselves as “reasonable” or “rational” based on how little of their religion they still embrace versus how much they now reject. I think it’s funny when people realize that the less you believe the more reasonable you are, but they stop before they reach the logical conclusion

The universe is your attendant. It will bestow you with the silverest of its sunshine, coolest of moonlight and the most fragrant air. Each drop of water that goes into your thirsty body will turn into God’s nectar that will nourish the cells of your body and make sure that you shine once again! – Sanchita Pandey, Cancer to Cure
