As a friend of mine would say, If I could know God, I would be God.
I don't know, Homer. I know a lot of people- that doesn't make me them. Knowing someone is different than understanding them (especially when it comes to women, it seems ;) ).

Events like the other night give pause for reflection. I suppose some reflect and think "Wow, what an awesome universe of chance we live in, that somehow- through time- matter would randomly form the universe we live in!"

I just happen to reflect more along the lines of "Wow, whoever is responsible for all this is a person I'd like to know!" Doesn't mean I have any special "leg up" on knowing Him/Her/It- just means I choose to take up the search for whoever causes things like meteor showers and butterflys and misty mornings and (cue the sappy music...)!
