If you need to visualize the soul, think of it as a cross between a wolf howl, a photon, and a dribble of dark molasses. But what it really is, as near as I can tell, is a packet of information. It’s a program, a piece of hyperspatial software designed explicitly to interface with the Mystery. Not a mystery, mind you: the Mystery. The one that can never be solved.
Tom Robbins, You Gotta Have Soul, Esquire, 1st October 1993
