stumbled across this. the man absolutely staggers me.
It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you may talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and corruption such as you now meet if at all only in a nightmare.
All day long we are in some degree helping each other to one or the other of these destinations. It is in light of these overwhelming possibilities it is with awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never met a mere mortal, Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations, these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit -- immortal horrors or ever lasting splendours.

bunny.
they've been busy over at Angry Alien Productions. now there are 30-second bunny theatres of the exorcist, the shining, titanic and alien.
things i liked: 'redrum' in a bunny voice, and the bunny ears on the alien. :)
will write about stuff i've been doing soon, but am too tired to post anything more coherent than bunny stuff now.
