1 " Through the Mud (from the book Blue Bridge)A line of robots,We approach a wall of mud,Some of us carrying flowers.The others laughBit when we enter that wallIt is the flowersThat will make us an arkTo carry us on through the darkness,Sailing throughWith our symbols the only lightUntil we flyOut over the fieldsOn the other side of midnightAnd all our wires And bits of metal fall off.-And our souls are bright again,So new and lightThey shoot up –Up to plant our brilliant flowersLike starsIn the face of heaven. "
― Jay Woodman
2 " Just think about it.Procreation. You give to thenext one down the line.That's really all we've got.Society, government,money, religion,careers, nuclear families,monogamy.These are all just highly creativesocially accepted delusionsthat we impose on reality to try and gainsome semblance of control over our lives.It gives us the illusion of choice.It makes us feel a littleless like animals.Animals. What do you mean?Like evolution?Yeah, evolution, exactly.I do not believein evolution.There's 400 billion starsin the Milky Way alone,making the amount of starsin the entire universecompletely mind-boggling.We are nothing.If an asteroid hadn't hit Earthand wiped out all the dinosaurs,we wouldn't be here.
