Everywhere I look about me in this Universe, Nature seems to be circular. From quantum to keyboards, the net effect of general appearances is that Reality is fundamentally circular. And I mean 'circular' as a simile, not as a metaphor. As if its aspect is giving us a hint.

But what about Time? If space is curved, then is Time also curved? Didn't Einstein already solve this one (I've looked it up in my physics textbooks, but they're little help.)

I used to love pot too. It makes everything so deep and groovy, man. If I had a puff right now I'd be right with you dude. Groove on - in a smooth and circular way.

Without love, breath is just a clock ... ticking.

Time is also like a record, it's very groovy, man. But, hey it's like a fish, very deep, y'know dude? And and and like a a a towel. Yeah, a towel. It can be great to have on the beach and also out of the shower to dry you off. No, that doesn't work. Uh, life is like a mirror. Yeah, a mirror. If you break it you could cut your finger. No, that's not it either. Uh, life is like a stoned dude, you never know what box of chocolates you're going to get.

One of my favorites!! Wish I had thought of it.

Here are a couple from my collection to make up for my miss and give a nod to your smooth hit:

Anyone who says he can see through women is missing a lot.
Groucho Marx



A man’s only as old as the woman he feels.
Groucho Marx



The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing.
If you can fake that you’ve got it made.
Groucho Marx



I find TV to be very educational -
whenever I turn it on I go to the library and read a good book.
Groucho Marx

My other two favorites:

Outside of a dog,
a book is man's best friend.
Inside of a dog
it's too dark to read.
Groucho Marx

I don't want to belong to any club
that will accept me as a member.
