Edgar Allen Poe published his short story, "A Descent Into the Maelstrom," recounting the disastrous fate of a whaling ship unable to escape the upside-down tornado in mid-ocean. All except for the sailor narrating the story, who survived by noticing that in the midst of the chaos it was still possible to rise to the surface. Marshall McLuhan often used this metaphor to describe our "modern" lives and our own potential path towards saying alive in a paradigm-vortex . . . !!

Yes, we need to find our "casks" to help rise to the surface. Or create new forms to aid those lost in the vortex.
