Just a Reminder

[nokotin]

A while back brother David reminded us of the beautiful "Just a Reminder" as written below:

…and so it came to being that one of the cucumber lords descended from the heavens and walked the earth, much joy was it indeed for his followers to wash his feet and feed him with their finest cucumber. It had been grown by a man bearing the name of Gariam, a farmer from the north. And they all applauded him, for such a fine cucumber had they never seen before. And thus the cucumber lord walked forth and put a hand on the man’s shoulder. And then he, with the mightiest voice anyone had ever heard started singing.

“Buy this man’s cucumbers

For they are indeed fine

He grows them with love and passion

And so do I grow mine.”

And so a flash of light blinded them all, and when they could see again. The cucumber lord was gone, and only his beard was left behind…

I wish to start an analytical discussion of this text. Other texts will be discussed as well after they are featured on the front page.

It seems to me that the beard is something connected to earth in some way, as the lord left his beard behind. Perhaps in the next heaven people are born without beards?

[Erling]

Are people usually born with beards here?
But true, 'tis probably a sign of something, something yet to come, something long past.

[David]

You mean you weren't born with a beard?  I mean the mandatory rituals after giving birth are cutting the Umbilical cord and trimming the beard. But by all means there is probably nothing wrong with you
