University of Washington.
This photo is not new, I think I had it off in a different file as a "maybe”. There were things that I liked about it and things that I don’t, yet every time I come across it, it grows on me.
Lastly, I am not of a specific religion, but I think there’s more than nothingness, and that what we’re experiencing, and how incredibly complex everything is, the fact that we can’t even begin to grasp how deep everything is with our extremely limited sense of consciousness, life, space, time, and more, leads me to believe God, in whatever form, he, she, it, them, an algorithm, an AI, a chemical, or something that wasn’t just random chances that somehow made something from literal nothing, exists. That doesn’t mean I think this thing or entity follows our individual lives, or even knows we and likely countless other life-forms exist, let alone cares. Or that I think taking a rip of DMT allows you to see it.
As long as your personal and religious beliefs push you towards empathy and the radical care for others, I support you.
Alt text of the photograph for visual impairments: People walking on UW’s Red Square toward the fountain, framed by blooming trees under a cloudy sky. On the right, a person holds a sign that reads, ‘There is peace with God through Jesus, Acts 10.’
