The universe is deterministic. It's godless and neutral and defined only by physical laws. The marble rolls because it was pushed. The man eats because he's hungry. An effect is always the result of a prior cause. The life we lead, with all its apparent chaos, is actually a life on tramlines. Prescribed. Undeviating. Deterministic. 

We fall into an illusion of free will because the tramlines are invisible, and we feel so certain about our subjective state. Our feelings, our opinions, judgments, decisions.

- Forest in Devs, S01E01
Langston Hughes

Let the rain kiss you
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops
Let the rain sing you a lullaby
The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk
The rain makes running pools in the gutter
The rain plays a little sleep song on our roof at night
And I love the rain.
Hates to be lonely,
Lawd, I hates to be sad.

- Langston Hughes
Bouquet
Langston Hughes

Gather quickly
Out of darkness
All the songs you know
And throw them at the sun
Before they melt
Like snow
I will look at cliffs and clouds
With quiet eyes

- Edna St. Vincent Millay
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.

- Edna St. Vincent Millay
Our talk is all of heres and nows,
Our conduct likewise; in no act
Is any future, any past

Jesus, quicken me.

Para a Terra

Seja sincera, Terra, — e gentil.
Esta flor que se abriu na tempestade
Caiu com o silêncio que se seguiu.
Seja sincera, Terra, — e gentil.
O esquecimento é como um pássaro cujas asas estão em paz,
Abertas e imóveis, —
Um pássaro que plana ao sabor do vento.
