But I agree, Buffy and Angel, through story and myth, dealt more with reality than most religions do. Guitarman said it best when he said "So people: love each other". It's the ones we love and who love us who see us through life's tough times and good times.

A little Leon, Ray and Willie for you.

Damn Captain Zap, if you've got a guest room for pigs...we may need to talk.

For me, the concept of "God" is sort of a catch-all term for the entirety of our human condition/experience. John Lennon once said that "God is the concept by which we measure pain." Interesting. A man with rigid beliefs and concrete thinking develops hardening of the arteries; a woman juggling child-rearing and career feels the weight of the world on her shoulders; she complains of a bad back. A man with difficulty expressing and receiving love is diagnosed with heart disease. A child with unexpressed grief shortens her breath and swallows her tears; she develops asthma. A young man full of promise is filled with self-loathing; he feeds his body poison.The body speaks its own language, sometimes in poetic metaphors. It screams for attention in all its symptoms, asking us to notice what we are clinging to and need to let go of.......we ultimately yearn for balance and harmony within and without us (both are inseperable and inter/intra-dependent) and they require all aspects of our lives to be included and counted. The good, the bad and the unfathomable........
