So there was some other arrangement of letters here before, but they're gone now. Because I'm the King of Dictionopolis and I control all words... or I just erased it all because it wasn't relevant anymore, but I still wanted to keep Rachel's comment.
I should probably put this in an email but maybe others would find this interesting too...
I'm reading wonderful things in my african studies class about African Traditional Religion. I especially like these ideas...
Each people are a tributary of truth since they are God's truth. For God shares his truth liberally with all people, and as the truth we know encounters others, it becomes stronger and deeper as it continues its journey in leading us to God, the source of all truth, and our final destination.
Wisdom is like a boabab tree and a single man's hand cannot embrace it.
The Creator is also the sustainer of creation, and in African traditional religion there is no indication or thought that although the universe had a clear beginning it will come to an end. This thought is based on the firm faith that the creator will not destroy his creation, and that just as a mother will not drop her child on her lap, so will the Creator not drop or destroy the universe which he has created and sustains.
The Ibo people say If God removes his hand the world will end
The Bambutie believe that If God should die, the world would also collapses.
The Akan, where I was, believe that life is constant and is not the opposite of death, since the spirit or okra survives death and continues to live.
The snake eating its tail represents a continuity such as this.
Well, that's enough blabbering to last you a life time I suppose,
Cheerio ol' chap.
