how beautiful and rich life is!! like some kind of thick dark chocolate that warms the soul, all nice and cozy. how rich my mind and soul have become! how clean, how pure, how whole again, how revitalized, how new! away from darkness and muck to such glorious revelation! through the briars that lead to the ocean! reborn as an aspiring bodhisattva! an eager bum! to be among the thoughtful, the intellectual, the religious, the eager, the DESIROUS, beautifully souled creatures who scurry through erudition. to push each other beyond beauty, to read constantly, to discuss constantly, to want all knowledge, to want all religion, to want all that life has to offer! read, eat, sleep! we are the hungry! we drink from the sublime, we are high off of eloquence! we are the restless who desperatly grasp for understanding! we are the mad!
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”
A friend's eye is a good mirror. Thank you all so much.
