My giant goes with me wherever I go.

I'm supposedly a good writer. I guess once I put my mind to it, I can be or if I have inspiration. I find that since I normally write poetry and its what I do most often when I write, I'm better at abstract writing and not normal story line type. I find its hard to express myself. Is this due to the fact that perhaps the English language lacks words for what I feel? Possibly.
Or due to a laziness? That could be partially it. I just get bored or impatient sometimes and trying to make everything cohesive. My mind isn't cohesive, my thoughts are abstract, it is a task to try and organize it. Why would I want to do such a thing? ha ha.

My Father came up for a day and as per usual we talk about religion and things in this life that actually matter. One thing we discussed was how people who believe differently treat each other. I just have to say I am frustrated with things that close doors for opportunity or people. If you believe differently than me doesn't mean I am going to turn my back on you or try and crush your faith. I don't think any one religion has it right through and through. Over the ages people have believed in different things (some pretty similar) and time after time have discovered what they knew to be true was many ways wrong or become disillusioned by it.
I know that I can't hang my life on someone else's truth. My truth may be different to some degree than yours. To contradict myself in a way by bringing up someone else's thought, to be exact Emersonian thought; he talked about how the truth is within us that our soul knows more than we give it credit.
They cannot see in secret; they love to be blind in public. They think society wiser than their soul, and know not that one soul, and their soul, is wiser than the whole world

I am still a work in progress, I am still finding my truth. My Dad has some good points about living by being Charitable and being grateful.

I believe there is a higher intelligence. I believe in living by love. That is why it is tattooed on my wrist. I believe that gaining knowledge is important. I love this quote: "I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than closed by belief" -Gerry Spencer
I want to gain knowledge and to travel and experience how others believe and really be open to it. I can't have my eyes closed by a belief. The Greeks really believed in their Gods. The Japanese did too and then it all came crashing down.

This post may or may not have been cohesive...but meh whatever
