Or, is the difference only in magnitude and history? What if you were reduced to a small set of ideas, a set that could explore a landscape of other sets? What would you seek? What would you attempt? What would you fear?

Pigeon Tries To Marry

Once Pigeon was walking along the water's edge in South Lake Union when he saw three beautiful women. They were sitting, laughing and talking on their cell phones. Pigeon decided he would try to marry one of them. He told all his friends and all their friends that he was holding a great feast in the park. Everyone knew Pigeon was generous with food and drink and was happy to come. The three women came to the feast and ate and drank with their friends. Pigeon told his best friend that the three women had all made separate marriage proposals to him and that he was unsure how best to proceed. His best friend told him not to worry, that he would handle the situation. His best friend went to talk to the women, each in turn. He told the first woman that Pigeon decided that it was not a good idea to marry her because he was a bird and she was a human. She got angry and told him she'd never marry a bird, let alone Pigeon. He told the second woman that Pigeon would not marry her because he was a common city pigeon, the color of the streets and had nothing but a safe crevice in a viaduct to his name. She asked Pigeon's best friend why Pigeon didn't tell her himself and to nevermind, that's gross. He told the third woman that Pigeon didn't think she was beautiful enough to marry. She immediately told her boyfriend what Pigeon's best friend had said and he killed him. Now you know why he was Pigeon's best friend.
