"We were not created by God in the form of Adam and Eve to play out some divine scenario. We created God, gave him our form, gave him the attributes we would most like to have, gave him also the darker side of psyche—the vengeance, the loneliness, the disappointment, the longing. Our meaning comes not from afar, but from within. We, individually, decide the meaning of the rose, the meaning of the universe, the meaning of our roles in it. At our center is the urge to live, in peace, another day. As we expand from our center, realizing that this life on earth is everything we will ever have, that we can make it a heaven or we can make it a hell, we recognize from our myths that there is a right and a wrong, a life-giving and a life-taking, that some things provide peace and other do not, some things which are more real than others." ~ T.
