Every Moment Is Enormous And It Is

Actually, When I Look At My Old Notebooks, I Think I Have Been A Bit Self-indulgent And Have Given Myself Too Much Time To Meander In My Discursive Thoughts. I Could Have Cut Through Sooner. Yet It Is Good To Know About Our Terrible Selves, Not Laud Or Criticize Them, Just Acknowledge Them. Then, Out Of This Knowledge, We Are Better Equipped To Make A Choice For Beauty, Kind Consideration And Clear Truth. We Make This Choice With Our Feet Firmly On The Ground. We Are Not Running Wildly After Beauty With Fear At Our Backs.

If You're Having Difficulty Coming Up With New Ideas, Then Slow Down. For Me, Slowing Down Has Been A Tremendous Source Of Creativity. It Has Allowed Me To Open Up -- To Know That There's Life Under The Earth And That I Have To Let It Come Through Me In A New Way. Creativity Exists In The Present Moment. You Can't Find It Anywhere Else.

To Stay Close And Intimate With Experience Is To Stay Close To The Mind; The Nitty Gritty Mind Of The Way Things Really Are.

You Live And Then You Die, I Thought. It's Good To Have Some Good Times.

Finally, One Just Has To Shut Up, Sit Down, And Write.
