Mr. Lies of the International Order of Travel Agents. We mobilize the globe. We set people adrift. We stir the populace and send nomads eddying across the planet. We are adepts of motion, acolytes of the flux. Cash, check, or credit card. Name your destination.

A man comes from the dust, and in the dust he will end, and in the meantime it is good to drink a sip of vodka.

Dark, elvish,
Modern, unissued, uncanny America,
Your nascent demon people
Lurking among the deeps of your industrial thicket
Allure me till i am beside myself,
A nympholept.
These States! as Whitman said,
Whatever he meant

If we are trying to live by ideals, we are constantly plagued by a sense of unreality.
- Marion Woodman

I understand clearly and deeply that no individual matters all that much. It doesn't matter all that much eventually what i do and what i don't do. It matters to me. I can help as much as I can help, but ultimately it isn't the way a battle must be foughtby the support of one individual or another... I just continue to do what i've always done, which is to write, to think about these things. I'm searching for an understanding. Not for my readers, for myself. It's a process of exploration. It has to further my understanding of the way things work. So in a way it's a selfish journey, too. It's a way of pushing myself further and deeper into looking at the society in which I live. If I were to be doing it, not as an exploratory thing, but just as a politician might, with some fixed agenda, and then trying to convince people of my point of view, I think I'd become jaded. Curiosity takes me where it takes me. It leads me deep into the heart of the world.
