that when people read something I’ve written, they can hear my voice and its inflections in their head.

Measuring Life
I saw the awakening, like the sun rising above the mountains. I saw the growing pains, like the plants that survive the winter snow. I saw the settling thoughts, like shrinking shadows on a summer’s night.
Children growing. People struggling. Old ones thinking. Life lived by measure. Life lived slowly. Life lived quickly. Life is weighed by moments. Life is weighed by events.

Frozen Flower
Such a small and delicate flower, How you sit in a snowy pocket.
Your light pink petals glisten in the light; How different you are in this frozen world.
The first to bloom in a hostile place, How strong you must be precious flower.
When none other would grow through the snow, How you rose to meet the promised light.
Beauty and strength so equally matched, How can you compare to those others?

Summer Storms
A summer evening,
Five of us went out,
To enjoy the final rays of light.
Out of nowhere,
Suddenly, there came a storm.
Rain poured down against
The dusky sky,
Like a translucent sheet.
Forgetting the shouts from parents,
We ran through the streets,
Like the silly children that we were.
Puddles splashing,
All of us slipping,
We laughed our way through
A darkened day.
But then came...

Simple Pleasures:
1. Curling up in bed and reading philosophy books.
2. Sipping hot tea by the fireplace.
3. Climbing trees, and looking out at the world below.
4. Thinking.
5. Making something for someone else: with your very own hands, from your very own heart.
6. Listening to the sound of rain on the window while falling asleep.
7. Taking long, aimless walks in foreign places.
8. Sitting on a swing set,...

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to...
Professor: You are a Christian, aren’t you, son?
Student: Yes, sir.
Professor: So, you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Professor: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Professor: My brother died of cancer, even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn’t. How is God good, then? Hmm?
(Student was silent)
Professor: You can’t answer, can...
