The Bend and the Bow

As we approach the climax of our being-present journey, we must confront the ultimate paradox:

• Should one bend or should one bow?
• Is the bend a mere submission, a surrender to the forces of gravity, or is it a calculated move, a clever ruse?
• And the bow, oh the bow! Is it a symbol of deference, a sign of respect, or a cleverly veiled attempt to distract from one's true intentions?

Note: The answer, much like the meaning of life, is not for the faint of heart.
