Tom Robbins- Mysticism; Excerpts from Skinny Legs and All
Early religions were like muddy ponds with lots of foliage. Concealed there the fish of the soul could splash and feed. Eventually, however, religions became aquariums. Then hatcheries. Farm fingerling to frozen fish stick is a short swim.
[Do] not glide in numb circles inside a box of religion.
Dogma and tradition overrule any natural instinct for brotherhood.
