Maury, a department store executive,
handed out thousands of dollars
of cigarettes.. in mental
hospital wards.. because he
hated forced change..
He adopted a dozen people to love
unconditionally.. to be present
for at all times.. He said
he knew this was impossible
.. but that he would try to
be there for 12.
He became a vegetarian
in a desire to
reduce suffering
Working one day on
the mathematical
probability that with
at that time nine countries
and tens of thousands of fingers
on the nuclear button no nuclear
device had been detonated
.. he decided then that
the probability was so infinitesimal
a higher power, an Infinity, must
be preventing the detonating for
since no nation since the US
in 1945 had dropped the big A..
and he dropped
from atheist the A
the A he added to theist
when the Enola Gay
first dropped the A
