More Positive Deviance

From Rob Brezsny, except my own bracketed commentary, Pronoia, p. 274: I say that the Creator includes death as an essential part of evolution's master plan. Lifetime after lifetime, our immortal[ly shared DNA/RNA solidarity] souls take on a series of temporary forms as we help unfold, in our own small ways, the inconceivably complex plot of the divine [regenerating positively deviant v. negatively pathologically deviant] drama. Each time we die, it's hard and sad to our time-bound [tragically doomed reductive] egos. But from the perspective of the part of us that has always been and will always be, it's simply part of the epic adventure [divine comedy]. The abolition of [self and other-selves] suffering is a worthy goal [of positive both-and deviance].
