-----------------------
we all stumble upon revelation--it is our lot to miss the signs and always 
misinterpret--isn't that its inherent nature as symbols, they're 
undefinable, pin-down-able, is-ness. Good ol'e Vaslav is just another of the 
pre-eterite, but he has Geli to save him--that's the best we can hope for in 
this world--sure, be aware of metaphysics, but love for another, that's the 
word (and be like me and the song goes).
