“ Atheists put on a false courage in the midst of their darkness and misapprehensions, like children who when they fear to go in the dark, will sing or whistle to keep up their courage.
Alexander Pope
I demand unconditional love and complete freedom. That is why I am terrible.

Here’s my proof that the half-moon is usually good luck. This is the night I took pictures of everything around us.
Francis Bacon telling a story. Isabel Rawsthorne stands behind him.
“ The saddest songs we know are about us.
It’s urgent.
Lazarus meaning "God has helped."
We are left wondering, Why Lazarus?
My theory is
God wants us to wonder this.
After all, if there were some quality that Lazarus possessed,
some criterion of excellence
by which he was chosen to be called
back
from death,
then we would all start competing to achieve this.
But if
God’s gift is simply random, well
for one thing
it makes a
more interesting TV show. God’s choice can be seen emerging
from the dark side of reason
like a new planet. No use being historical
about this planet,
it is just an imitation.
As Lazarus is an imitation of Christ. As TV is an imitation of
Lazarus. As you and I are an imitation of
TV. Already you notice that
although I am merely
a director of photography,
I have grasped certain fundamental notions.
-Anne Carson
