Hello Cruel World

Wednesday, April 16, 2003

The local Noxious Weeds Control officer is doing an inspection of Chris' little property today. I rang some time back after the notice arrived & explained situation, he told me he'd write & explain what was there.

There is nothing. There is no God and no universe, there is only empty space, and in it a lost and homeless and wandering and companionless and indestructible Thought. And I am that thought. And God, and the Universe, and Time, and Life, and Death, and Joy and Sorrow and Pain only a grotesque and brutal dream, evolved from the frantic imagination of that same Thought.
