i AM the onderdonk. and i didn't go away, and i didn't fall down the hole of human knowledge. I was teaching for a few weeks, and I wen to a cuddle party.
Cuddleparty wasn't that great, and a 55 dollar cab to get there made it more expensive than it was worth. Guess a little human contact is worth something, but at that rate I really can't afford it.
I am still the enemy of time, and still the vanquisher of gravity. And I still think humanity is in it's toddlerhood, they are all playing with their toys, they call it the 'material world', and they are all interested, atleast all the girls and most of the boys. You have to be very 'crazy' to keep out of it. Fortunatley for me, I'm 'orphaned, destitute, and ill-fated', the goal in taoism according to the tao te ching. so from out here, i can speculate on humanity. it's like they all fell down the hole of human knowledge, and they drag their kids down around age two.
Some day, amybe, humanity will eat a big rock and get smart. But the world governments are stifling the process. They recall the lead-paint toys - THIS IS WRONG!!! LEAD AND ARSENIC AND GOLD, VERMILLION, CINNABAR, REALGAR, this stuff is FOOD! it's food for people who want to transcend the world, live forever as stars, fly away into the sky in broad daylight, merge the seen and the unseen.
Someday humanity may grow up. Then they will set aside their toys, put them in the big toybox and seal it up, they they will go out into the world and discover it, it's been there all along! They will then be adults, will go out into the world of mystery and wonder and join their brothers, the spritis, the trees, the pneuma, the 2 year olds, the scizophrenics, and me.
