The concept of Intelligent Design has always intrigued me. Nature is designed "intelligently", is quite effective and is very beautiful. Yet I don't think the process of evolution necessarily needs to have a Creator to impose himself on the this worldly work of art. Evolution IS intelligent. It is purposeful. It strives for life against all odds. This to me is the real miracle. What is this driving force?
Any claim of God is outdated for sure but I still wonder what makes things click. There are many recurring patterns in nature that when I notice them, I feel enlightened. For example, as I was eating a piece of raw brocolli today (to try and stay healthy), I appreciated it's small tree-like appearance. And this reminds me now that I would like to get a small Bonzai tree to put next to my cool Buddha!

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.
