the hand of god

outside a bar


What do you mean?

I mean... I felt the hand of god

...where are you from?

North Idaho

woah I don't know anything about there

yeah, you're fucking right you don't

woah dude I was just admitting and being humble, settle down man

okay Idaho

okay

what do you do

um, I'm like a writer, poet, actor, singer, comedian

Yeah, words, that's what I do. And from a performance perspective, it gives me an outlook and like a different approach than a lot of people

okay so let me ask you something

do you believe in god?

Because it's not belief anymore. It's real. I've felt god and i'm telling you that you'll lose faith sometimes, you'll run around screaming, you'll say WHYYY? I DON'T BELIEVE IN YOU ANYMORE. Because my life.... has been PAIN. But I'm telling you... that you-

Dude. What i'm saying if if I don't think it's there, I can't LOSE or COME BACK

just trust me...

Listen, I'm happy for you... I really am, that's great, but it's still not real to me. I have to keep searching myself, and exploring myself, man... that isn't rooted in your answer and something that I will return to, because like, I'm
