That - and reading up on it via wikipedia - just informed me of a pretty crucial reference and plot point in Eden: It's an Endless World.

I know a charm that can cure pain and sickness, and lift the grief from the heart of the grieving.

I know a charm that will heal with a touch.

I know a charm that will turn aside the weapons of my enemy.

I know another charm to free myself from all bonds and locks.

A fifth charm: I can catch any arrow in flight and take no harm from it.

A sixth: spells sent to hurt me will hurt only the sender.

A seventh charm I know: I can quench a fire simply by looking at it.

An eighth: if any man hates me, I can win his friendship.

A ninth: I can sing the wind to sleep and calm a storm for long enough to bring a ship to shore.

For a tenth charm, I learned to dispel witches, to spin them around in the skies so that they will never find their way back to their own doors again.

An eleventh: if I sing it when a battle rages it can take warriors through the turmoil unscathed and unhurt, and bring them safely back to their hearths and their homes.

A twelfth charm I know: if I see a hanged man I can bring him down from the gallows to whisper to us all he remembers.

A thirteenth: if I sprinkle water on a child’s head, that child will not fall in battle.

A fourteenth: I know the names of every god, every damned one of them.

A fifteenth: I have a dream of power, of glory, and of wisdom, and I can make these dreams real.

A sixteenth charm I know: if I need love I can turn the mind and heart of any woman.

A seventeenth, that no woman I want will ever want another.

And I know an eighteenth charm, and that charm is the greatest of all, and that charm I tell no man, for a secret that no one knows but you is the most powerful secret there can ever be.

These were his words, after his death, when he rose again.

I got quite annoyed after the Haiti earthquake. A baby was taken from the wreckage and people said it was a miracle. It would have been a miracle had God stopped the earthquake.

My favorite is the Invisible Pink Unicorn. Just because she doesn't exist is no reason not to worship her. After all, it doesn't stop any of the other religions does it?

i love every invisible nonphysical thing, that does not promote nor excuse aggressiveness in any form or manor.

i would not say worship, for i question the moral character of anything that would desire, let alone demand, to be.

but i love the mystery of all unseen things. and that they may very likely have little or nothing, to do with what anyone pretends to know.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

flying speghetti is lunch, as long as it doesn't hit the floor. bast and tara are cool. even anubis. and especially isis and her healing quest.

coyote and fox. real people, here to heal the world and each other, even if coyote is a major screwup most half the time. but he did drag us out of the mud, and steal fire for us.

Old joke:

God is love.
Love is blind.
Ray Charles is blind.
Therefore, Ray Charles is God.
Life is a tragedy to those who feel, a comedy to those who think, and a musical to those who sing.

I am the very model of a Nation States General,
I am a holy terror to apologists Confederal,
When called upon to source a line, I give citations textual,
And argue about Palestine, and marriage homosexual!
