Genesis

 Genesis 4:6-7

6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast?
7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it.”

In Journal of a Novel, Steinbeck writes: "As I went into the story [of East of Eden] more deeply I began to realize that without this story [of Cain and Abel]—or rather a sense of it—psychiatrists would have nothing to do. In other words this one story is the basis of all human neurosis—and if you take the fall along with it, you have the total of the psychic troubles that can happen to a human."

The kingdom of heaven: “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

I miss the sound of someone tinkering on a piano.

I wish I had learned to do this better.

 

But some people want the rock without the roll
But we all know, there's no God without soul

Hope may be the heaviest thing we’ll ever have to carry. - @levithepoet

When I am sad I lie next to my infant son and watch the slow rise and fall of his chest. I hope to myself that this breath will be enough. That life will somehow manage to keep me living. 

That time biking saved my life.
