Sure, Cobalt: I see exactly what you are talking about. Exactly. But, and here is an ominous note, we all eventually die. Woody Allen (Alan, Allan, Alen) is cited for: "I do not fear dying. I just don't want to be there when it happens." If I procrastinate by not 'walking', I will cause myself to shrivel. This debilitation will be unacceptable. Yet, it is there, threatening me. If I 'walk', I may not shrivel that noticeably. What are the odds for a magnificent 'died in his sleep', or had a sudden stroke? How long can a "high bottom" be maintained before reaching a "low bottom"? In this particular mortal circumstance. I know that certain actions, or lack of actions, can bring me towards the "low bottom". But, I question, What if I keep myself at the "High Bottom" as long as I can? Will I be able to die in a whisk? I am virtually a hermit. I also have no dread, at all, of dying. It is a given. Is there any way to avoid the process of literally rotting? Now, this sounds like sick shit, but I believe it is sort of a pragmatic consideration. Can you imagine yourself living within an enfeebled shell, and still making the forces continue? This note is a Wow note. I have no idea how YOU brought me to this level of in-your-face reality. Sorry about the above, george
