A Victim of God

A victim of God may,

Through learning and adaption,

Become a partner of God,

A victim of God may,

Through forethought and planning, 

Become a shaper of God.

Or a victim of God may,

Through shortsightedness and fear,

Remain God's victim,

God's plaything,

God's prey.

—Earthseed: the Books of the Living

Happy New Year!

Museum Day

Has there ever been a more beautiful girl in the Land?
No, there has not.

Identity and Social Capital

Just found this.
I'm probably late to the party but I am looking forward to hearing her new album this Spring.

Also, is there anything more Millennial than having an existential crisis from being "socially bankrupt?"

This takes me to the heart of my recent reflections on the concept of identity.
