Brahma created me, Vishnu preserves me, and Shiva will destroy me--but the only one who carries is myself. The Brahman be praised for the creations and random beauty of the world, and for circulating round a girl in a world of a planet who lives and falls. 040411 ... thieums Sister, do you remember those days where We would draw signs in the sand?
