Two wolves howling on rocks in a dark forest. Image by Picmonkey. Quote reads (and is continued in the link): “If you need to visualize the soul, think of it as a cross between a wolf howl, a photon, and a dribble of dark molasses. But what it really is, as near as I can tell, is a packet of information. It’s a program, a piece of hyper-spatial software designed explicitly to interface with the mystery.” -Tom Robbins, “You Gotta Have Soul” as quoted by Pavi Mehta with Amy Leach, Awakin.org

Our lives are not as limited as we think they are; the world is a wonderfully weird place; consensual reality is significantly flawed; no institution can be trusted, but love does work; all things are possible; and we all could be happy and fulfilled if we only had the guts to be truly free and the wisdom to shrink our egos and quit taking ourselves so damn seriously. - Tom Robbins, to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, 2007

#QuoteOfTheDay #TomRobbins #Magic
Tom Robbins, the journalist known for uncovering corruption and the dark side of institutions in the state of NY, has passed away. He was a true muckraker and his contributions to uncovering the truth, was truly inspirational. RIP Mr. Robbins.

The book “skinny legs and all” propped up on a black and white striped chair. The cover shows a woodcut style drawing of the character Salome dancing.
A book in desperate need of a good editor. It has its moments but overall it’s trying to hard.
I started reading this book about 30 years ago. It seemed old fashioned and dated even then. Now I actually finished it, it’s worse. As the young people say, gives you the ick.

Ooh Mr. Robbins. How you changed my world. Thank you for sharing your outrageousness. 💜
