   Footprints, huh?  I thought Jimi was mostly too high to leave 'em.   
      
   Anyway, were you trying to point out an inconsistency?  Sometimes life *is*   
   a cast-iron bitch, but once you let go of expectations, it gets easier to   
   see the beauty of the way the thing works.  When we fuck up, things get   
   harder; when we don't, they get easier: duh.  Likewise when things keep   
   working better and better, it seems not too unlikely that one isn't fucking   
   up too severely.   
      
   Of course if you just fell off a new horse and broke your leg, it's tough   
   to see the beauty in it, because the beauty of it's still in the future,   
   when the broken leg makes you not-good-enough to be impressed into the army   
   during a war.   
      
   I've been able to see the beauty of it for a while now.  For example,   
   election campaign in the US is proceeding precisely as it must.  Guess   
   what, *everything* proceeds *precisely* as it must.   
      
   You assignment, if you choose to accept it, is to figure out what that   
   means, so you can decide for yourself what you think about it.

   no need. if everything proceeds as it must,   
   then thinking of it is simply superfluous.
