reflections on atheism.
Today I read something written by someone who eloquently described atheism. Probably better than I could’ve ever described it myself.

spring is here, but i'm not there.
If I were still in Vancouver, I'd be getting ready to lose one hour of sleep tonight when they turn the clocks ahead for DST. But I'd be happy still. The second sunday of March was always my indicator that winter has at long last gone... and that it was now time to look forward to my favourite season: spring.
