Favorite Quote:
The most beautiful and most profound experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms - this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness. ( Albert Einstein - The Merging of Spirit and Science)

I don’t know why people cry

When someone gives in and dies.

Is it feelings for someone that makes you mourn,

Or is it the selflessness that makes you realize that

they wont be there for you anymore.

Is it that people are afraid of change.

If a loved one dies,

Tears can be made

But don’t live in despair.

Cause we know that wherever they are

We're worse of here than there.
