My idea of God comes from St. Anselm: God is the highest thought that can be thought.
If there is a God, and he lives up to all of our expectations of him, (and he must, or else he is not God), then he would not [...]

It’s no wonder I’m anxious: my apartment is so cluttered it cannot help but produce a cluttered mind. Although I stretch out my legs, my feet hit the wall behind my desk. In front of me is a bottle of putrid water, weeks old, wrappers from cookies and crackers, also crumbs that scattered when I [...]

I bought a bicycle today. Ode to a bicycle: It has been years since I have written one, it feels to me now altogether a strange and difficult contraption. I need to wrap myself around the creature’s steel frame so intently, and balance so precisely, and kick off and continue wobbling forward in just such [...]

I am a tragic poet. We have fiery wings, crafted in heaven and set aflame in hell, and the harder we beat them, striving with all our soul’s desire for high Truth, the more we fan the flames. I am Keats. I am Byron, and Shelley, mad with love for beauty, mad with desire for [...]

Chip on my shoulder:
I feel like I know a lot about how the world works, am I happier? Healthier? More successful? No. Am I kinder, more helpful? No. So what am I arguing for? Why am I – increasingly, ANGRY. Is the anger part of my passion? People say they want passion in their work. [...]

Poor health, but especially, nerves, seems to be the common complaint of artists and poets, and was probably the cause of excessive drinking and poor relationships. Nerves get in the way of everything, except creation. When the heavy, meditative consciousness of self is lifted, the fanciful nervous temperament is unfettered. The mind, unorganized, without the [...]

I am overtly lecherous; I have a lecherous disposition that is at the forfront of my relations with other people. In the moments of artistic idealization, of course, I would argue that the entirety of humankind is wrong in this aspect and that I, as innocent as a child, am no more than allowing myself [...]

Today we have bred a society of philosophers. With the insurgence of new and contradictory ideals, the post-modern breakup of community and group, as well as the loss of any hope for meaning and truth (despite blind acceptance of some religion, which should have, on its on merits, died out in the face of rational [...]

I am the new philosophy of religion, and philosophy of spirituality, and in that effect, I am the new voice of Truth, Wisdom, Goodness, and represent the point of life in General. Literary Analysis and Deconstruction cannot exist without a voice like mine; or at least should not, for the very reason that I dislike [...]

I am an idolater.  It’s not about worshiping false idols, it’s about creating them, creating beauty. In the natural world, everything is made by God, and beauty is entirely his domain; beauty can be found in his blessings, his works, his creations.  The commandment does not prohibit worship, it prohibits making a copy of anything: [...]
