Favorite Quote:
\"Faith is universal. Our specific methods for understanding it are arbitrary. Some of us pray to Jesus, some us go to Mecca, some of us study subatomic particles. In the end we are all just searching for truth, that which is greater than ourselves....Science tells me God must exist. My mind tells me I will never understand God. And my heart tells me I am not meant to.\"-Vittoria Vetra, Angels and Demons

be my ghost,

a little piece

left behind,

a pearly white

shadow

of what used to be.

be my ghost,

an echo

of the voice

of reason,

of the sound

of love.

be my ghost,

a faint trace

of life

still holding on,

still believing.

be my ghost,

and don’t let me die,

keep me alive, even

if just in spirit.
