Do not ask your children to strive for extraordinary lives. Such striving may seem admirable, but it is the way of foolishness.

Give me your hand: I will now tell you how I entered the inexpressible which has always been my blind and secret quest. How I entered into what exists between the number one and the number two, of how I saw the line of mystery and fire, and that it is a surreptitious line. Between […]
Starting here, what do you want to remember? How sunlight creeps along a shining floor? What scent of old wood hovers, what softened sound from outside fills the air?
