It is ok to seek to understand
Even though it seems a futile task
Since the infinite is . . . infinite
The seeking breaks the smaller shells
Skin by skin the snake can grow
And growth is good
So long as I remember there is more
And so long as there is room for laughter

I am sure the choice of the snake was intentional. Is there double-meaning there? The picture looks like Sam….

The snake slithered in. And I am sure there are more meanings than I know. Things happen like that sometimes – the connections happen but not always intentionally. We’ll have to talk about snakes sometime. It does look like Sam … but its not. Perhaps another unintentional connection.
