The ultimate analogy for the creative spirit, Jacob and his darned angels. Whether struggling up a heavenly ladder with drooping wings (sometimes we forget why we're here).... or wrestling with our very natures in an attempt to finally be like the rest... but it's no good is it..it ain't gonna happen... otherness is part of the whole kit andcaboodle of creation... so DEAL!!!!!
"Otherness" is one of the great challenges of the soul.....a true character builder....remember how our parents used to say difficult situations would "build character"....well, any opportunity to be the outsider.... l'etrangeur...not of the tribe....and the complexity of sensations that goes along with it will give new and interesting insight into the human condition...and that's why we're here, right, to interpret the human condition. Good ol' Jacob...he didn't win.. but he understood.
