did tom robbins die?

This almost flew under my radar, and it sure has been a good day. I hear the Guinness calling... (or is that the boomerang?)

Tom Robbins alive and well and making me feel alive and well.

What Is The Meaning of Life?

Our purpose is to consciously, deliberately evolve toward a wiser, more liberated and luminous state of being; to return to Eden, make friends with the snake, and set up our computers among the wild apple trees.

Deep down, all of us are probably aware that some kind of mystical evolution - a melding into the godhead, into love - is our true task. Yet we suppress the notion with considerable force because to admit it is to acknowledge the most of our political gyrations, religious dogmas, social ambitions, and financial ploys are not merely counter productive but trivial. Our mission is to jettison those pointless preoccupations and take on once again the primordial cargo of inexhaustible ecstasy. Or, barring that, to turn out a good thin-crust pizza and a strong glass of beer.
