"Oh."

Is community the same thing as the elephant chorus singing in perfect four-part harmony (all four parts in falsetto) in my head?

"Oh."

She used to say that when I said anything that mattered to me. "Oh."

It reminds you that nothing matters and that we're all going to die alone in elephant graves that aren't really elephant graves but are just mounds and valleys in indeterminable spaces on "Earth." That's an exaggeration, because you have to exaggerate things like that to feel calm and submissive because you actually don't have that much control and you know it. Or you're MacBeth, but I think he knew it and just didn't want to believe it.

Buying a new shirt is a really intense spiritual experience. Also hats.

I try to explain to people that spirituality isn't religion and that faith is also different.

Actually, it is a six act play and the sixth act is super-secret and only gods and ghosts know about it. In the sixth act Apollo killed Dionysus with the Sun and the planet has been dying since then, but also the sun is blinding everything and existence is the metaphor and the veil is reality. Maybe a double metaphor, and maybe a double or triple veil.

"Oh."

People think that God created the world with his voice. The word of God. Words are the most powerful things, more than weight-lifter weights and anvils and pianos.

I started this whole thing out by asking about community, because the veils make it hard to know. It seems like music probably would be involved, like a faint echo of Dionysus's last breath drifting out forever.
