All Faith is false, all Faith is true:
Truth is the shattered mirror strown
In myriad bits; while each believes
his little...

Recently, the Anglican Church has been somewhat overly pre-occupied with the discourses surrounding homosexuality, and the place...
Daniel Tammet is an autistic savant. What makes him unusual is that he's also capable of living independantly, and also of explaining how his mind processes, which no other autistic savant (think...

Well, Lambeth Conference 2008 has finally come to an end, and it seems that the question left over (besides the gay one, and the women...
The lyrics to the Sufi song "Drink with the Beloved". I first heard this while dancing at the grave of Murshid Samuel L. Lewis, so I feel very blessed to have heard such a fantastic song at such a...
This was originally written in 2006, to a website that no longer exists.
A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is...
Interea soror alma monet succedere Lauso
Turnum, qui volucri curru medium secat agmen.
Ut vidit socios: ‘Tempus desistere pugnae;
solus ego in Pallanta feror, soli mihi Pallas

Back in the summer of 2008, I had this great idea of creating this blog called God Made the Rainbow. It was going to promote love, unity, and spiritual inclusion of all people. It started...
The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his...
Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your...
Another beautiful song which I happened to hear at Lama was Hoof and Horn. I include the lyrics below and a recording of Eloisa Ramos giving it her all. :)
Interestingly, I have heard other...

The Human Rights Act, despite what the Daily Mail says, is a very good thing for this country. It has protected us from house arrest, our DNA stored on a database without our consent, and various...
Forever and a day, I will keep telling myself; if only
If only, I had not let pride carry me away
If only, I had not let my ego get in the way
If only, I had overcome the fear of giving too much of...
Jeff and Isaac on their wedding day.
Yesterday I discovered that one of my friends, Jeff Woloson has died, on the 7th August. He had been in perfect health, but was found sitting at his PC by his...
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!

WHAT is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?—
No time to stand beneath the boughs,
And stare as long as sheep and cows:
No time to see, when woods we pass,

Newspapers
I used to be very into editing Wikipedia. Several media appearances came of it. The major one was being interviewed for an article in The Times, but I was also briefly featured in The...
Stephen Fry's riveting autobiography, Moab is my Washpot (derived from Psalm 60:8), never fails to make me appreciate the power of words. In particular, I have this passage permanently bookmarked....
Once there was a time when the world knew only earth-based religions, which revered the female goddesses as much as the male gods. This song reflects that. Eloisa Ramos has kindly provided a...

I met a traveler from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip,...

Too often today it seems like it is almost nigh on impossible to be both queer and religious. Most conventional religious structure...
Like many other people, I spent a long time firmly of the view that poetry was meaningless unless it rhymed. Fortunately, I had an epiphany and the joys of prosody were opened up to me, raising the...
Polyphasic sleeping is a sleeping pattern where you don't sleep through the night in a block (monophasic sleeping) but take a series of naps throughout the day or night. There are a variety of...
I learnt about polyphasic sleeping from a friend who is a devotee of Steve Pavlina, a personal growth guru. Steve Pavlina spent five months living on a polyphasic schedule and reported no problems...
I read a lot. I average somewhere between 50-150 books a year. Some books are good, some books are dreadful, about one or two a year are so irredeemable awful I destroy them immediately. And some...

Knocking on the moonlit door;

Of the forest's ferny floor.
And a bird...
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one...
