maybe the meaning of life lies in looking for it

I often lose myself in the Sudoku-like challenges of making a book work.

By each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.

As many truths as men. Occasionally, I glimpse a truer Truth, hiding in imperfect simulacrums of itself, but as I approach, it bestirs itself & moves deeper into the thorny swamp of dissent.

When insolvent, pack minimally, with a valise tough enough to be thrown onto a London pavement from a first- or second-floor window. Insist on hotel rooms no higher.

...there ain't no journey what don't change you some.

What is "poker"? A card game where abler liars take money off less able liars.
