A friend who passed once told me that once late at night, while under the influence of the sacred fruit, a voice came to him in the dark – - the Logos perhaps, or the voice of an intergalactic alien brother. The voice shared its primordial knowledge and allowed my friend to ask one question. There in the dark, shaking in his skin, for lack of anything more acute, the words oozed from his lips, “Am I doing this right?” To which the voice replied, “What kind of chicken-shit question is that?” – Michael Welsh
