Living Among The Gods

When I investigate and when I discover that the forces of the heavens and the planets are within ourselves, then truly I seem to be living among the gods.

Leon Battista Alberti

Three Wooden Crosses

A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher,
Ridin’ on a midnight bus bound for Mexico.
One’s headed for vacation, one for higher education,
An’ two of them were searchin’ for lost souls.
That driver never ever saw the stop sign.
An’ eighteen wheelers can’t stop on a dime.

There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway,
Why there’s not four of them, Heaven only knows.
I guess it’s not what you take when you leave this world behind you,
It’s what you leave behind you when you go.

Heaven And Hell

When John died, an angel came to take him to heaven. While they were on their way, the angel told John that God had granted him a chance to fulfill a last wish as he had been an exceptionally good person.

John had always been curious about how hell was like. So he said, “I always wonder how hell is like. Could we go visit?”

“Very well. Let me take you there now,” the angel obliged.
