I realise that I have a past to break with--an accumulation of inertia, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk. A great need of clarification, of mindfulness, or rather, of no mind. A need to return to genuine practice, right effort. Need to push on the great doubt. Need for the spirit. Hang on to the clear light.

although i read something very similar
i believe billy thinks he made this up
it is salient, even if not original
after a full review, the ruling on the field is overturned

for his original take on this
snarg will take this as a compliment, print it out and paste it in his "book of memories"

A good reason for seeing it would be to try and torch as many of the drapes as possible. Depending on the level of success, the exhibit would take on otherworldly qualities. Snarg will feel even more like he was part of sweeping cultural change. Extra points for snarg because the premature destruction of the gates would keep more people from seeing it, and put him in an even more elite class of even fewer people to have witnessed this revolutionary display of outdoor interior decorating.

torching the drapery wiould be a different kind of art
it would certainly be very impressive to see all 23 miles of the installation i flames
personally, i think that would have been a much more dramatic "dismantling" and a more profound statement, especially in these times
snarg is not interested in being in a "more elite class"
it is, indeed, lonely at the top
