Well, the “good” stuff lives in all different places, and the post-verse wanderings keep that mystery alive -- and express it; if you participated in the proceedings as they unfolded, hopefully you became happily unhinged and had a safe and enjoyable landing. With Eyes there, you’re in the best of hands.
