The bookstore was a parking lot for used graveyards. Thousands of graveyards were parked in rows like cars. Most of the books were out of print, and no one wanted to read them any more and the people who had read the books had died or forgotten about them, but through the organic process of music the books had become virgins again.

Richard BrautiganThis morning I saw a coyote walking through the sagebrush right at the very edge of the ocean โ next stop China. The coyote was acting like he was in New Mexico or Wyoming, except that there were whales passing below. Thatโs what this country does for you. Come down to Big Sur and let your soul have some room to get outside its marrow.
