      @Vesa Wuoristo Because … human.

      Don’t mistake the appreciation of a healthy, fit body, for not respecting intelligence. Are you 12? She has a killer body, and knows it. Why would you not show your body, if you worked hard on it?

    We’re on the cusp of a Scientific Revolution and change in Consciousness of the Universe. The expanding universe model will be replaced by a non-bounded, non-static, non-steady state Cosmology with no beginning and no end.

    ,.Islam is a religion that calls to the worship of God, the One, the One, who has no partner, the King, and Muhammad is the Messenger of God, and the last of Godโ€™s messengers to people after the Messenger Jesus, son of Mary, after the Gospel was distorted. Reckoning and resurrection after death and Islam is the religion of tolerance and it is firmly established in the lands that have been conquered because it came with mercy for people and the light Islam and the Qurโ€™an illuminate the heart and the pleasure of eternal happiness that does not end Islam is the religion of God and whoever does not enter Islam will not enter Paradise. You must read the Qurโ€™an to learn what is in it and ask God for guidance The path of truth, and to know that you were not created in vain

    The ancient Greeks spoke of the nine muses: daughters of Zeus who graced humanity with gifts from mount Olympus itself. Great art, music, literature and philosophy were attributed to these divine beings, the most notable of their beneficiaries being Homer, the author of the Iliad, Dante the poet who composed the Purgatario and Shakespeare who himself invoked the muses in Henry V. I confess I haven’t read much Shakespeare or Dante; I did enjoy Hollywood’s abridged version of the Iliad, the blockbuster Troy but I resolutely believe I have had the privilege of meeting the eldest of the nine muses, Calliope.

    The most beautiful of them all, Calliope is acclaimed as the muse of epic poetry and eloquence, both arts I had no particular fondness for. And then three years ago, she waltzed into my life: humble, beautiful, cultured, exotic, introducing me to classical music like Albinoni’s Adagio in G minor and the thunderous Carmina Burana set to music by Carl Orff. An artist, she filled my world with her latest creations which made me resolve then and there that I would never settle for anyone other than a creative.

    Time flew by in her company and every moment was surreal, bordering on sublime. A teetotaller, like myself, her highs were triggered by creativity, music and being in the mountains. One night, googling new names of stars to affectionately address her by, I stumbled upon Arcturus, and the related Arcturian Prophecies, a new age work from a Californian native that has a near-cult following. The book proposes that seventh dimensional beings are continually broadcasting pearls of wisdom to earth, which have brought about evolution. These noble beings find suitable residents of this nascent planet and fill them with an intense love for preservation of their land.

    What ensued were spirited discussions on how earth is being primed for the extinction of war, a time where prolific creativity, boundless peace and universal brotherhood is the only wealth strived for. All of a sudden, I started to write verse after spending time with her..abstract, unrelated, poetic verse. It made no sense whatsoever, it was just my fingers doing all the work, with no input from my mind. It was only after she took her leave that I started to notice an end to my explosive creative streak. A Google image search into muses revealed an ancient statue of Calliope, with the exact pose that had endeared me to her spirit: a delightful finger on her chin.

    Goa is home to divinity; she is as the protagonist in the Pulitzer winning classic ‘To kill a mockingbird’ states: “Remember itโ€™s a sin to kill a mockingbird; They donโ€™t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy and sing their hearts out for us. Thatโ€™s why itโ€™s a sin to kill a mockingbird”

    For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. โ€œHe who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.โ€

    To me a slave that houses itself, feeds itself, and then makes itself go extinct in the process of making its master more money than the slave will ever see is the most poetically beautiful of the cosmic truths.
