I remember when they put the metal "point" on the skyscraper in downtown Dallas a decade or more ago. The helicopter lowered this steeple-like point atop the tall building. It was just like in a Fellini film, but in fact it symbolized nothing more than perhaps a bit of corporate and architectural excess.
I tend to see life as metaphor, but so often the metaphor eludes me, and all I have before me is an image that it passes so quickly, and there is so much I do not understand.
