"Literally light reading before bed lol. I've been using this as a night time devotional. And hmm it seems I haven't tired of reading/contemplating death and my impending experience of it.
It's riveting and makes me feel terribly uncomfortable yet safe (and thrilled)?... completely out of my control yet remembering my death is the only true purpose to my finite life in view of my eternal one" — 13 hours, 21 min ago

“There is great power in harboring a single goal.
“We must not be frightened nor cajoled
into accepting evil as deliverance from evil.
We must go on struggling to be human,
though monsters of abstraction
police and threaten us.
Reclaim now, now renew the vision of
a human world where godliness
is possible and man
is neither gook nigger honkey wop nor kike
but man
permitted to be man.”
― Collected Poems
