The Soul Of Florida

When you put a snake and a rat and a falcon and a rabbit and a shark and a seal in a zoo without walls,

things start getting nasty and bloody. – Reince Priebus

Talking about God.
“It’s like imagining
the world’s greatest coach
in your corner.”
That helps me. 
That I can deal with.
 
Just yesterday
on my walk I was thinking,
Basically as much evidence
of the existence of Santa Claus
and the Easter Bunny
as there is of God.
And one is always admonished… 
don’t talk about politics or religion.
Finally figured out why. 
Both topics involve an act of faith.
 
Faith is an act of survival.
Questioning a man’s faith
is an assault
on his most basic instinct.
Next he might start questioning himself.
Can’t have that, can we?
