The Giant Muh Reflects on Life
“And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
“What is life? It is a flash of a firefly in the night. It is a breath of a buffalo in the winter time. It is the little shadow that runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.” -Crowfoot

“Loyal opposition”….HA! Love that…..I’ve been the gamut from adolescent frightened believer, to 20′something perplexed believer, to 30′s-ish agnostic (simply a cowardly atheist), to darn near 50′s-ish to-the-boots believer. It’s been a marvelous journey, and I’m lovin’ where I am now.
