So that was a joke that I continue up to this very day.

The lettered world no longer consists of singulars: it is a medley, a mass; and a hundred books, at bottom, are but one.

  • How extraordinary it is to be here at all. Awareness of death can jolt us awake to the sensuality of existence. Breath is no longer a routine inhalation of air but a quivering intake of life. The eye is quickened to the play of light and shade and color, the ear to the intricate medley of sound. This is where the meditation leads. Stay with it; rest with it. Notice how distraction is a flight from this, an escape from awe to worry and plans.
