Rooted In Place
I needed a vacation. I needed 5 women. I needed to get the wax out of my ears. My car needed an oil change. I’d failed to file my damned income tax. One of the stems had broken off of my reading glasses. There were ants in my apartment. I needed to get my teeth cleaned. My shoes were run down at the heels. I had insomnia. My auto insurance had expired. I cut myself every time i shaved. I hadn’t laughed in 6 years. I tended to worry when there was nothing to worry about. And when there was something to worry about, I got drunk.
~ Charles Bukowski

…I had a fruitful correspondence with R. Buckminster Fuller, who first suggested to me the presence of an information storage and retrieval system existing as some kind of psychic field, or thought belt around the planet…Bucky wrote me, that he could converse with the pre-Socratic philosophers as he strolled down the beach.
~ Jose Arguelles, Manifesto for the Noosphere

…it is not a shame to have roots and belonging nor it is unfree or unspiritual. You are human, and you will always be, the old new story of non-attachment causes spiritual bypassing and silently split personality. Have roots, have culture, so that our soul comes at peace…
