Moon on the horizon. Soft breeze rattles the brambles out by the old barn. The cat enters, looks about and begins to speak. “Fears take flight after years of drinking the tears away while the days responsibilities are laughable in the light of satori's brilliant realization. Silly, silly man, thinking reality something to achieve, a destination to discover, a journey to undertake. Listen and I will tell you what little I have learned burning away my short time on this horizon of understanding. All that is transitory is a metaphor for the eternal and all that is eternal is a metaphor for the self. The self is the collective consciousness we all share and what we share is our experience of being. Being is nothing but an illusion created in the mind of God while God is simply a metaphor for eternity in the mind of man. Now pour me some kibble for I know many things, but do not possess opposable thumbs”. I woke with a start, cursing the spinning room and swearing never to mix Jameson and Absolute again. The cat finished her kibble and crapped in the litter box.

Jameson, Absolute, Nietzsche, and the Cat
