The rising sun caresses the flower's petals.

The flower expands to engulf the sun's rays.

The prior evening's dew quickly evaporates.

The flower blooms without fear, adding

it's own beauty to it's surroundings.

By evening, the flower dies, ensuring the

plant will live.

A Desert of Plenty

I wander in a desert of plentitude. Everywhere I turn, I see an abundance. On the left are cases and cases of liquor, tax stamps intact. On the right are side of beef, smoked bacon, salt cured fish, preserved from the sun. Beside me are cartons of cigarettes, unopened and unsmoked. Death and abundance.

Where is the desert ?

Sam Harris Bashes all Dogma

Sam Harris bashes followers of all religions: Christian, Jew, Muslim, Budhist.

What would a religion look like if it were completely devoid of dogma ?

What would a desert look like if it had no sand ?

The (long version of the) Creed would be "I believe."
