Thank you very much Jeff Victor. I knew there was another reason I liked you. We are akin. Being a fellow atheist, I appreciated your words and your compassion and giving of yourself. At the moment I can't be that articulate or eloquent to describe how moved I am. I am also the only person in the crowd with my head up during prayers. I'll read your essay now - thank you for sharing, it's greatly appreciated. I'll leave you with a quote from another atheist, who, like you, and me has a fierce reverence for life - Ta-Nehisi Coates from his book: "Between the World and Me". "I believed, and still do, that our bodies are our selves, that my soul is the voltage conducted through neurons and nerves, and that my spirit is my flesh." Thank you, amber
Thank you for reading! I poured my heart into this piece. I had wanted to write something like it basically since waking up in that hospital bed, but it took a lot thinking and reading and writing and rewriting.
What a beautiful quote. I'll have to remember that one
