Two qualities are at the root of all meditation development: right effort and right aim—arousing effort to aim the mind toward the object.
They always call depression the blues, but I would have been happy to waken to a periwinkle outlook. Depression to me is urine yellow, washed out, exhausted miles of weak piss.

I make books because I love them as objects; because I want to put the pictures and the words together, because I want to tell a story.
Household objects lost meaning. A bedside clock became a hunk of molded plastic, telling something called time, in a world marking its passage for some reason.
