Truth (with a capital "T") is the elephant, and humanity the blind touching, sniffing, tasting, listening to this big "T" and of course we all rhapsodize a different tale (or tail?), yet in the end the big "T" is still the big "T" and all our various tales describe a tiny bit of that reality, the elephant.

Muddled?
This morning at break fast Bro. Sedwick said that my writing in recent days seems rather muddled. Bro. Juniper interjected a hasty "yes indeed" while Bro. Clarence simply smiled as he passed me some fried tofu. Muddled? You think so?
I think I like you muddled, if that's what you are. I don't care much for over-simplified certainties, religious or otherwise, which exclude too much. You are striving, with the always limited resource of language, to express complex and elusive things. You're doing fine.
You usually make perfect sense to me, Bro. B. Then again, I'm not sure if that's a strong recommendation :)
