    Linnea - i wrote down a little phrase the other day that made me giggle: have faith in science.

    then listen to your gut.

    One of my fav lines is simply

    "absence of proof is not proof of absence"

    I like it not just for its meaning, being the science geek I am, but I also appreciate the writing... simple, tight... a litterary statement perhaps that william of ockham might approve, at least in its abandoment of unnecessary adornment.

    Wish I couldve heard you giggle.

    It's beautiful.

    You're right.

    I love everything you said about it. :)

    I believe because I am sensitive and have always found it fascinating ( it meaning ghosts and spirits) to have something so wonderful that people are so afriad of.
