It Is A Blessing To Get Old.

I Feel It In Me Like A Woman Having A Baby, All That Life Churning Inside Me. I Feel It Every Day; It Moves, Stretches, Yawns. It's Getting Ready To Be Born. It Knows Exactly What It Is.

Life Has Only Gotten Better Personally For Me As I've Gotten Older. I Mean, Being Young Was Such A Gross Waste Of Time. I Was Just Such A Miserable, Miserable Person.

As A Child, I Felt That Books Were Holy Objects, To Be Caressed, Rapturously Sniffed, And Devotedly Provided For. I Gave My Life To Them. I Still Do. I Continue To Do What I Did As A Child; Dream Of Books, Make Books And Collect Books.

I Adored Mickey Mouse When I Was A Child. He Was The Emblem Of Happiness And Funniness.

William Blake Really Is Important, My Cornerstone. Nobody Ever Told Me Before He Did That Childhood Was Such A Damned Serious Business.
