Spring or Autumn?

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I want it to be spring because spring is my favorite season:-) It fills me with hope, despite a lot of bad things for me typically happening in the spring. I like how it's starting to get warmer and greener and the sun is out more.

5 Gratitudes

1. Seeing April and scrapbooking:-)
2. Getting the manga Neon Genesis Evangelion vol. 11 and A Severed Wasp by Madeleine L'Engle in the mail today
3. Pre-ordering the last volume of Fruits Basket manga (I love the ending)
4. Talking with Michael
5. Finished reading Clockwork Phoenix which was a bit depressing for me right now.

After Death

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I don't have strict beliefs on what happens after death, having no memories of an afterlife following an incarnation, but I do have some beliefs that feel right to me. I believe all living beings (and possibly nonliving) have souls that are immortal. I believe eternity is the natural state of the universe, that all things really occur simultaneously and time is an illusion. I believe there is another plane of existence besides earth and that our souls also reside there. I also believe at least some souls reincarnate. I don't believe these reincarnations are a punishment of some sort, though I do believe there is at least some degree of choice involved.
