To sum it all up, it you want to write, if you want to create, you must be the most sublime fool the heavens ever turned out and sent rambling.

I wonder if there is any stationary in heaven?

These things can enlarge the soul: laughter, danger, imagination, meditation, wild nature, passion, compassion, psychedelics, beauty, iconoclasm, and driving around in the rain with the top down. These things diminish it: fear, bitterness, blandness, trendiness, egotism, violence, corruption, ignorance, grasping, and eating ketchup on cottage cheese.

If you do not understand, things are just as they are.

I don’t know what I’m doing most of the time. There’s a certain humour in realizing that. I can never figure out the kind of tie to put on in the morning. I don’t have any strategy or plan to get through the day. It is literally a problem for me to decide which side of the bed to get out on. These are staggering problems. I remember talking to this Trappist monk in a monastery. He’s been there twelve years. A pretty severe regime. I expressed my admiration for him and he said, “Leonard, I’ve been here twelve years and every morning I have to decide whether I’m going to stay or not.” I knew exactly what he was talking about.
