For those of you who have read this far, (smile), you might
think of those from Mendelsohn thru recent title Monroe posted
who have written about TRPs lifelong religious "oncerns."
>From Simone Weil's Pynchon-titled, decades before Pynchon,
Gravity & Grace.
"Two forces rule the universe:light and gravity."
"What is the reason that as soon as one human being shows
he needs another, the latter draws back from him. Gravity."
"Everything we call base is a phenomenon due to gravity."
"I must not forget that at certain times when my headaches were
raging [Ms. Weil suffered crippling migranies] I had an intense
longing to make another human being suffer by hitting him in exactly
the same part of his forehead.
Analogous desires, very frequent in human beings.
When in this state, I have several times succumbed to the temptation
at least to say words which cause pain. Obedience to the force of gravity.
The greatest sin."
Ah, there is more to the rainbow of gravity than in all your discoveries,
Horatio--Newton".
