This is what I believe

That I am I. That my soul is a dark forest. That my known self will never be more than a little clearing in the forest. That gods, strange gods, come forth from the forest into the clearing of my known self, and then go back. That I must have the courage to let them come and go. That I will never let mankind put anything over me, but that I will try always to recognize and submit to the gods in me and the gods in other men and women. There is my creed.

- D.H. Lawrence

This is what I believe too. Except that the beings who come into my clearing are not Gods. They're insurance agents.

I believe I'm 98% water and a little bit of some other shit. There's fog in my clearing. Damn it.
