I simply do not distinguish between work and play.

I consider myself kind of a reporter - one who uses words that are more like music and that have a choreography. I never think of myself as a poet; I just get up and write.

Drive down any road, take a train or an airplane across the world, leave your old life behind, die and be born again~ wherever you arrive they'll be there first, glossy and rowdy and indistinguishable. The deep muscle of the world.

So every day So every day I was surrounded by the beautiful crying forth of the ideas of God, one of which was you.

I went to India and was quite taken with it. There's a feeling there that things are holy first and useful second. And in America, we have it backwards.

Every day I see or hear something that more or less kills me with delight, that leaves me like a needle in the haystack of light.

I feel the terror of idleness, like a red thirst. Death isn't just an idea.
