The idea that reason and rationality is somehow separate from and antithetical to ones ' heart' is one of the most absurd theologies I have ever in my life heard." ~R. Alan Woods ("Just Keeping It Real", Copyright 2012) ↗

I loved the city. We were anonymous, and even then I had the sense that cities were yielding; that they moved over and made room. ↗
