why not, why should the 'messiah not plot to colonize Mars'?!

The one Great Magician turned water into wine..... and hydrogen into all this, and nothing into something......

I agree that it's in the small things ... 'a quiet accumulation of estimable acts, and start secretly being a new, humble kind of hero of your own story.'

This, I love.

I read recently the phrase 'embody grace' - now that is a way to fill a messiah shaped hole. Imagine what the world might be is this was our obsession. 💚
