hey man, you know professor hawking, he said everything that's happening is happening for a reason, and we're not the only ones involved, postman jeff said. i thanked him heartfully, i really needed a more cosmic viewpoint on this stuff. i wonder what hawking knew... i'm going to try to read his last public words. when i came back to walk the pointers again this afternoon postman jeff was still here, as if time had slowed, on the other side, now the brighter side, of the street. i said when i saw him i was just imagining stephen hawking curled fetus like in his astral body like the spaceman baby in 2001, a space odyssey. and hoping we would still be receiving transmissions from our beloved astral genius.
