I love Jung so much and in so many ways that I don't know where to start.

But frankly, I got lost in the poem and the sacrament of offering french fries to a pastor on the street, who tries to resist temptation, but unlike Jesus in the desert, succumbs to the fragrant penumbra. We all have our limits when faced with temptation.

I had to look up penumbra.

Thank you, Jed. As an aside, there’s a San Francisco novel you should check out: Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore. A fun read.

I read it! Didn't realize penumbra was a double entendre at the time. I thoroughly enjoyed that book. And that is unusual for me.
