To one degree or another, everybody is connected to the Mystery, and everybody secretly yearns to expand the connection. That requires expanding the soul. These things can enlarge the soul: laughter, danger, imagination, meditation, wild nature, passion, compassion, psychedelics, beauty, iconoclasm, and driving around in the rain with the top down. These things can diminish it: fear, bitterness, blandness, trendiness, egotism, violence, corruption, ignorance, grasping, shining, and eating ketchup on cottage cheese."

Now, let me make sure I get this last bit straight. Shining as in "shining for fish" ???
There's no way I have to worry about indulging in ketchup on cottage cheese...ever!
Good catch Nita! i had to look up shining to see what he may have meant. one of the definitions was "trying to impress". Another was "trick and prank"....like Monkeyshines I suppose.
Do you shine for fish? Sounds like fun!
I don't fish at all but my daughter used to love it when she was young. I think shining is done at night with flashlights. It attracts the fish big time but it is illegal if I remember correctly.
I like Tom Robbins. I especially liked Skinny Legs and All and
Even Cowgirls Get the Blues.
But I can't figure out your pic here: I know it's like the negative image of a nekkid lady, but what is that on top of her ??
A curious mule wants to know!
