“From stars to soil to synapses, arrangement of atoms dictates reality.”

― The God Sonnets: Naskar Art of Theology
“I've descended from exploding stars,
and you think you with your
monkey mind can erase me,
you can own all the rockets, all the satellites,
all the armies, robots, and all the banks,
still you cannot dampen my nerve fibers
charged with lightning from the heavens -
there is starlight bursting in my arteries,
there is comet-dust in my veins -
I spin like a mad dervish, and particles
conspire to construct the cosmos in my wake.”
