yesterday was a lifetime ago. I just spent a good hour reading past journal entries. no I dea who I was. I cant really remember being that person. I only got through the first half of 2004.

Its snowing in Seattle. I walked up lakeview to the hill and did so in the middle of the street. Safety be damned because Im not walking on the sidewalk. I sang out loud and hoped to meet someone new or an old someone again. On the corner of Denny and Belvue about 50 people had gathered to sled down Denny. It was quite the mix of people as everyone was bundled up and snowed upon. I love this city.

An Atheist's Creed

I believe in time,
matter, and energy,
which make up the whole of the world.

I believe in reason, evidence and the human mind,
the only tools we have;
they are the product of natural forces
in a majestic but impersonal universe,
grander and richer than we can imagine,
a source of endless opportunities for discovery.

I believe in the power of doubt;
I do not seek out reassurances,
but embrace the question,
and strive to challenge my own beliefs.

I accept human mortality.

We have but one life,
brief and full of struggle,
leavened with love and community,
learning and exploration,
beauty and the creation of
new life, new art, and new ideas.

I rejoice in this life that I have,
and in the grandeur of a world that preceded me,
and an earth that will abide without me.
