57th, Last and Best Quote from Tom Robbins' "Skinny Legs and All"

(You probably shouldn't read this if you're planning on reading the book, not that it's really a spoiler, but in my opinion, it's kind of the whole point)

Was there a more difficult lesson for a human being to learn, a paradox harder to accept? Even though the great emotions, the great truths, were universal; even though the mind of humanity was ultimately one mind, still, each and every single individual had to establish his or her own special, personal, particular, unique, direct, one-on-one, hands-on relationship with reality, with the universe, with the Divine. It might be complicated, it might be a pain in the ass, it might be, most of all, lonely--but it was the bottom line.

It was as different for everybody as it was the same, so everybody had to take control of their own life, define their own death, and construct their own salvation. And when you finished, you didn't call the Messiah. He'd call you.

I mean, isn't that the whole point in general?

Someone told me it's all happening at the zoo.

Uhhhhhhhhhh

I have mixed feelings about this.

Gonna have been in transit for 24+ hours total by the end of the week

I mean, come. On.
