And now, I have another good reason to speed up my baby narratives to make my author's profile appear more respectable.
I'm not an actor who appears on the stage and gives people advice on how to live or what to do and entertains them. It is not my specialty.
The greatest freedom in this world is a sense of self detached from appearances so that we may sacrifice today’s comforts for tomorrow’s opportunities.
Each of us literally chooses, by his way of attending to things, what sort of universe he shall appear to himself to inhabit.
In the beginning of the human race there was no genetic load which would cause undesirable traits such as appear in offspring of marriages between relatives today.
As with all my work, whether it's a leaf on a rock or ice on a rock, I'm trying to get beneath the surface appearance of things. Working the surface of a stone is an attempt to understand the internal energy of the stone.
