>From the Twilight Zone, Sauve division, here's a cool synchronicity/support of nature story I heard today. My neighbor R.Crumb is working on a pretty serious project, Genesis. Yup, the first book of the Bible, illustrated in comic form by Robert Crumb. I know you're thinkin', "Yeah, yeah, we're gonna have Mr. Natural saying, 'Let there be light, Dudes...'" but it's not like that. He's really doing what's written there in the Bible, word for word, and merely illustrating it himself. Merely.
Anyway, summer's coming and with it, lots of visitors to Chateau Crumb. So Robert, really wanting to finish this project but easily dis- tracted, decided to find an apartment away from Sauve in which to work on this project non-stop. And so he and Aline are looking for such an apart- ment and they find one owned by someone with the last name of Crumb. No relation. Except that Mme. Crumb is English, and did her doctoral dissertation at Oxford on Genesis. She's fluent in Hebrew, Greek, and all the other Biblical languages, and left all of her source books on Genesis there in the apart- ment that she's renting out. Her response to hearing the project that Robert wanted to write in her apart- ment? "Say no more. It's a done deal. The apartment is yours." She's also willing to serve as a consul- tant should Robert have any questions. Is that cool karma or what? And on all sides -- both sets of Crumbs get something cool from the deal. It's like a textbook example of interdependent origination.
