This is a classic episode from Sesame Street, which I actually remember. Reality (via Bob McGrath) throws Kermit a curve ball, and for a moment he’s off his game. Watch to see how he recovers and leaves triumphant – it’s inspiring.
A nod to Kierkegaard and Walker Percy: existentialist tomfoolery, political satire, literary homage, word mongering, a year-round summer reading club, Dylanesque music bits, apocalyptic marianism, poetry, fiction, meta-porn, a prisoner work-release program.

A moment of Peircian triadic concelebration that creates community, crossed with Kierkegaard’s “comic as incognito of the religious.”
(I can’t wait for angelmeg’s response to that!)
I forgot to mention the element of angst that impels Kermit forward towards openness to the triadic/comic resolution in the direction of the religious (and the possibility of a “leap” — get it? — into transparent, authentic existence under God).
“It might not be easy being green, but it’s the only way to be me.”
— Kermit the Frog
Rufus, that is inspiring. My advice: forget about the lawn, and the dishes and cleaning out the garage as well.
Perfect, Angelmeg.
