Infinite jest

Life is not an orderly business. Perhaps you’ve noticed that.

I am. Full stop

I cannot say, “I am the body.” That is because I am not the body. Neither am I a Volvo C30, even though I drive one. Bodies and cars—they come and go, along with everything else. So the question is, What doesn’t change?

Here. Not here

A sojourner is a person who occupies a space temporarily. We’re all sojourners.

Blades of grass

Everything has a relative importance, as a horse does, or a blade of grass. But nothing matters absolutely.

For the perfectionist—hyper-critical, righteous, preoccupied with himself—a healing mantra: “I’m not that important.”

Finito

Enough already! If your relationship needs reviving, gown down. The patient has expired.
