The world is definitely bent. In the last 24 hours, I have had four surprising conversations with different people. I realize of course that the world was always at this angle, but it has not been until I rounded the curve that I saw just what a turn it would be. Of course, "All thing bend to the will of the Great Magnet, what a fool I was to defy him." But then, maybe this bend is part of the will of the great magnet. Are we putting the mustache of iron fillings on the little face now? Are we just getting ready for yet one more shake where we all fall off? And if so, do I really care? Often I am reaching the conclusion that I don't. I am not sure why everything that has happened has happened, but it has. The forces of the Great Magnet are at work all around us, and not only is the world bent, but so are all of us...
