The freedom of an individual depends upon that individual's freedom to alter his considerations of space, energy, time and life and his roles in it. if he cannot change his mind about these, he is then fixed and enslaved amidst barriers such as those of the physical universe, and barriers of his own creation. man thus is seen to be enslaved by barriers of his own creation. he creates these barriers himself, or by agreeing with things which hold these barriers to be actual.

I nodded. i liked augustus waters. i really, really, really liked him. i liked the way his story ended with someone else. i liked his voice. i liked that he took existentially fraught free throws. i liked that he was a tenured professor in the department of slightly crooked smiles with a dual appointment in the department of having a voice that made my skin feel more like skin. and i liked that he had two names. i’ve always liked people with two names, because you get to make up your mind what you call them: gus or augustus? me, i was always just hazel, univalent hazel.

The word ‘holiday’ comes from ‘holy day’ and holy means ‘exalted and worthy of complete devotion.’ by that definition, all days are holy. life is holy. atheists have joy every day of the year, every holy day. we have the wonder and glory of life. we have joy in the world before the lord is come. we’re not going for the promise of life after death; we’re celebrating life before death…for atheists, everything in the world is enough and every day is holy. every day is an atheist holiday. it’s a day that we’re alive.
