just got marketing call from reconstructionist rabbinic college asking for my support. i was too startled to access prefab, "take me off your list" loop; instead launching into an abstract rendition about notions for denominational/non participation (probably staunchly). in other words, "i'm opposed to singling out any denomination to give 36 bucks to." her "what?" prompted me to add, "its philosophical" ... the poor woman (and i need help).

poetry slam. listened to marc smith read his poetry about mountains... and conquering. "pull the next one up." reminds me of kafka and yb femlibrary bookends.

"people keep themselves at a tolerable height above an infernal abyss toward which they gravitate only by putting out all their strength and lovingly helping one another. they are tied together by ropes, and it's bad enough when the ropes around an individual loosen and he drops somewhat lower than the others into empty space; ghastly when the ropes break and he falls. that's why we should cling to the others."

~ franz kafka (1903)
