"After one has abandoned a belief in God, poetry is that essence which takes its place as life's redemption."

~Wallace Stevens

I find that a little Emerson helps when I'm feeling down...
or maybe some Rumi, or sometimes even some good dark poems help. Some of that "Fuck you God" stuff.
However to each their own.
