God Says Yes To Me

This poem--I don't believe in god, but there's something about it that just makes me feel like dancing.


God Says Yes To Me
Kaylin Haught

I asked God if it was okay to be melodramatic
and she said yes
I asked her if it was okay to be short
and she said it sure is
I asked her if I could wear nail polish
or not wear nail polish
and she said honey
she calls me that sometimes
she said you can do just exactly
what you want to
Thanks God I said
And is it even okay if I don't paragraph
my letters
Sweetcakes God said
who knows where she picked that up
what I'm telling you is
Yes Yes Yes

Re: outing myself as a huge nerd...

Ohhh, that reminds me of one of my very favorite lines of poetry, actually, by C.S. Lewis, The Meteorite: All that is Earth has once been sky. I am not especially enamoured of the rest of the poem, but that one line, oh man, it just sounds for me.

Also, apes are amazing and there's nothing degrading about being related to them! I am much more upset about being related to several terrible specimens of humanity than I ever would be about knowing my own evolutionary history, about how our particular species split off and reacted differently to enviromental conditions, stood upright and started speaking. When you think about all the tiny infintesimal chances that lined up from the survival of the ancestor of all Chordates, Pikaia, to a branch of hominoids becoming bipedal, how is that not absolutely amazing and a miracle in its own way? THE WORLD IS A BRILLIANT, BEAUTIFUL, CRAZY PLACE. LET'S ALL JUST REVEL IN IT.

YES. I am much more upset about being related to several terrible specimens of humanity than I ever would be about knowing my own evolutionary history, about how our particular species split off and reacted differently to enviromental conditions, stood upright and started speaking. And also, what you said about the beauty of chance, yes, yes a million times.
