I've got a giant tattoo on my back of Jesus riding a motorcycle across the sea, with Moses splitting the sea not with a staff but an electric guitar.
Ok, I don't have that tattoo. I'd like to see someone get that tattooed though. I'll even donate five dollars toward the cost. Five dollars!!!
Fear, belief, love phenomena that determined the course of our lives. These forces begin long before we are born and continue after we perish. We cross and recross our old paths like figure skaters; our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.
