My dear friends, I was composing a Visible Origami over the last several days. Usually they appear as whole cloth in around an hour but sometimes I 'hit and run' them; not often but... sometimes. It was a raucous, UN-Origami-Like affair and I thought it was too close in time, space and especially texture to the most recent Petri Dish. I was nearly done but... waiting... Having an angel(s), along with invisible friends in your life, as I do, can be a wonderful asset, when you happen to be one of the lesser disciplined souls, with a propensity for scatological hyperbole and this can be offputting, on occasion, for some of our 'more sensitive readers'. I tend to call them as I see them and sometimes that includes a jaundiced eye and a cynical mind, when in consideration of temporal bullshit, presently stinking up the joint. I've tried to modify and to evolve in my presentation to be more like my heroes; one of whom is the source of the body of information in this post. However, the Good Lord, in his incomparable wisdom, has chosen to leave me with some amount of my more acerbic and mordant qualities. For all I know, it amuses him. He has told me often enough that I have that effect.

QUOTE FROM VIVIKANANDA

You are all running after life, and we find that is foolishness. There is something much higher than life even. This life is inferior, material. Why should I live at all? I am something higher than life. Living is always slavery. We always get mixed up. ... Everything is a continuous chain of slavery.

I KNOW THIS! THIS IS WHY I'VE GOT A 'TUDE, REGARDING PHYSICAL EXISTENCE. THIS IS WHY I CAN'T STAND IT, YET THE MAJORITY INSIST ON PERPETUATING IT, AND OF COURSE WE ALL KNOW I AIN'T MAJORITY. OF COURSE I HAVE DIFFERENT REASONS FOR NOT PERPETUATING IT, MAINLY THAT I ABHOUR BEING PERPETUALLY INCONVENIENCED BY PARASITES, BUT HEY! OPINIONS MAY VARY.
