I'm gonna try walking on water.

I want to be able to think any thought. Because that gives me a sense of being truly free. Of course, I don’t have to share my thoughts. Although I have nothing against sharing. But I prefer having a choice. And I do. I share some. Not others. One of my permeating thoughts is to believe in the impossible. Give me an example of something you believe is impossible, and I’ll come up with an argument that it’s possible. Even walking on water. I haven’t achieved such a feat. But I’m told someone has. I haven’t seen it done. And if any of us witnessed such a walk, we might still doubt it. Thinking we were tricked. But I’ve witnessed things that seem more impossible than walking on water. My existence, for instance. That I’m here. A conscious and thinking being. Very real. But then again, maybe I don’t exist. And I’m merely a random thought in god’s mind. A creation of god’s vivid imagination. One of god’s dreams. But that would still make me real, wouldn’t it? If so, that’s all the more evidence that the impossible is possible. And walking on water should be a relatively easy feat. I’m going out on the lake now. To put it to the test. I’ll let you know later today if I walked on water. If I don't drown. –Jim Broede
