reminding me of a white guy rapping at an open mike
night back in the early 80s, recounting similar adventures
when he worked at a Donut Shop, culminating in a
cop buying one and saying "God, that tastes Irish"

hipster slang - "gate" meaning friend, I think,
shows up in GR doesn't it?  "Hiya gate, how's the mate"
-- relating back to Jesus somewhere saying "I am the gate"
and that gate that is not a gate that we were talking about
awhile back...just as supposedly the "beat" in "beatnik" stood
for "beatitude", right?
(just spelled the same is the "gate, gate, parasamgate",
so it's a tangential association at best here)

a) did you explicate that as 4 Horsemen?  (I seem to remember yes)
b) ZOON, as in Greek, ZO, being "animal"?

I can't even imagine getting into that position,
let alone getting and staying hard while in itf...
(not to metion the rules in the gym)
hats-off, kudos...I can well believe that it's a spiritual quest -
like Hesse's Siddhartha standing under the waterfall or something
--what else could induce one to endure such discomfort? or
even feel not discomfort at all but something else entirely

a cornerstone for an exalted philosophy, could be...
was it a blue book?  I dreamed a couple times
about blue books on spiritual subjects
