I'll Put It To You This Way:

I Think That There's A Hidden Darkness In All Of Us!

The Universe Is In The Habit Of Making Beauty. There Are Flowers And Songs, Snowflakes And Smiles, Acts Of Great Courage, Laughter Between Friends, A Job Well Done, The Smell Of Fresh Baked Bread. Beauty Is Everywhere.

I Played Football For A Huge Portion Of My Life, All The Way Through College Actually.

Creation Is All Things And Us. It Is Us In Relationship With All Things. All Things, The Ones We See And The Ones We Do Not; The Whirling Galaxies And The Wild Suns, The Black Holes And The Microorganisms, The Trees And The Stars, The Fish And The Whales - The Molten Lava And The Towering Snow-capped Mountains, The Children We Give Birth To And Their Children, And Theirs, And Theirs, And Theirs.

A Lot Of People Want To See This Idealized Version Of Heroism, All Pretty And Perfect, And I'm Not Interested In Playing The Goody-goody Hero At All.
