fallen angels
Are we fallen angels who didn't want to believe nothing is nothing and so were born to lose our loved ones and dear friends one by one and finally our own life, to see it proved?... O gnashing teeth of earth, where would it all lead to but some sweet golden eternity, to prove that we've all been wrong, to prove that the proving itself was nil.
Jack Kerouac
from The Dharma Bums

That's a great Kerouac quote - reminds me a lot of his sutra, the Golden Eternity.
yeah, ya know I thought of you as I read it and posted it for your benefit knowing that you stop by here often.
it made me think of that too,
the last ten pages of the book, while he is isolated as a fire lookout just south of here, is an amazing insight to his zen thinking, ...
awesome book!
