"Until the Lock Opens" a poem by Charles Anthony Hood

Pantheism: everything is God.

God is the fundamental substance…

From which all has evolved…

The Universe is God.

Human beings, in turn, are their own Gods.

Many imaginative concepts of God—

All beautiful in their own ways—

Have been posited throughout time.

All concepts of God up to this point…

Have been imagined creations…

By human beings—we created the…

Gods we worship, except…

The Universe: none of us can claim…

Responsibility for creating it.

The Universe existed before us,

And will continue after us.

Human beings are the Gods of the Earth.

‘Tis our playground, for now, until Roaches…

Take over the earth and evolve…

Into creatures more resilient than us.

Humanity will cease to exist.

The only thing we have is “now.”

The individual must create anything.

To live today is better than dreaming…

About living in a future that may never come.

There is nothing in this world…

Worth losing your soul for—your mind.

Intellectual honesty is worth preserving.

If I cannot say what I believe to be true,

Then I am a prisoner within this world.

My mind, however, cannot be caged,

For it sings and sings until the lock opens.

Tell me about “The Gray Man” concept.

The Gray Man concept originates from various contexts, including military, survival, and social interactions. It generally refers to the idea of blending in or remaining unnoticed in a crowd or environment. This strategy can be particularly useful for individuals seeking to avoid drawing attention to themselves, whether for safety, privacy, or tactical reasons. In military terms, the Gray Man concept emphasizes the importance of camouflage and stealth. Soldiers or operatives may adopt attire and behavior that allows them to blend into their surroundings, minimizing the risk of detection by the enemy. This can involve wearing neutral colors, adopting local customs, and behaving in a manner that seems typical for the environment, thereby reducing the likelihood of being singled out. In survival scenarios, the Gray Man approach can also be applied. People may choose to dress in a way that does not attract attention, especially in situations where they might be perceived as vulnerable or ...

Tell me about the 7 principles of the Unitarian Universalist Church.

The Unitarian Universalist (UU) Church is founded on a set of principles that guide its members in their spiritual and ethical lives. These principles reflect a commitment to individual exploration and the shared pursuit of justice, compassion, and understanding. The principles, often shared in congregations, are not hierarchical but interdependent, affirming the importance of each in the life of a community.

Dear Followers…

Hello everyone, I appreciate all the likes, comments, and follows, etc. I am grateful for all who’ve decided to respond to my character “Charlie Donut.” He is a kind, simple man who doesn’t always understand reality. He loves to talk about his dreams. It has been a great joy for me to play “Charlie Donut” and write my content. When I started playing “Charlie Donut,” I thought no one would notice me amongst the millions of other artists creating things. I figured I would just create something and see what happens. To my surprise, I started gaining a small following. It is still small, and I think that is OK. I have some plans coming up for Charlie Donut. I am thankful for social media as a creative outlet. The followers who watch and comment are wonderful. Sometimes, I get insulting comments, but I don’t take them personally because those people are insulting my character. Anyway, I started my social media career with little expectation of response or success. I want to crea...
