it is what it is

Welcome to reality. If you lived here, you’d be home now.

Very cold. But very moving.

Yes, we were there.

So, better late than never, here’s my favorite jumbotron pic:

Seems silly, huh? But, then, I listen to the snippet of video I shot, and hear the (fabulous, diverse, and sometimes crazy) people around me, and it was worth it to see this on a screen bigger than a 40″ LCD.

    Absolutely — feel free to share. I’d love the credit, though (“Allison at meanderwithme.com”).

    Glad you liked the pic — as I said, it was my favorite of the bunch too.

After a childhood of immersion in my family's religious tradition, I hit college and my first true experience with the question, "why?" Why did I believe as I did? If I thought about it, I had no idea. So, I spent the next ten years not thinking about it.

.

Once I hit 30, I began asking myself that question all over again. A few years later, I woke one day to realize that I simply didn't believe. For many reasons, I am a much happier (and more emotionally healthy) person having let go of god. There are still days that I wish god did exist. It would be a relief to relinquish responsibility to a greater power.

.

But, even better, I can see life for what it is, and work with reality. That's more powerful than any god could hope to be.
