I Exercise Everyday. I Swim, I Bike,

Forever Is A Big Word. I'm Not Going Anywhere.

Suffering, I Was Beginning To Think, Was Essential To A Good Life, And As Inextricable From Such A Life As Bliss. It’s A Great Enhancer. It Might Last A Minute, But Eventually It Subsides, And When It Does, Something Else Takes Its Place, And Maybe That Thing Is A Great Space. For Happiness. Each Time I Encountered Suffering, I Believed That I Grew, And Further Defined My Capacities – Not Just My Physical Ones, But My Interior Ones As Well, For Contentment, Friendship, Or Any Other Human Experience.

I Don't Think Anybody Else From My Generation Had Federal Agents Standing At Their Door With A Badge And A Gun, Saying: 'you Are Going To Answer My Questions'.

Pain Is Temporary. Eventually It Will Subside. If I Quit, However, The Surrender Stays With Me.

I've Read That I Flew Up The Hills And Mountains Of France. But You Don't Fly Up A Hill. You Struggle Slowly And Painfully Up A Hill, And Maybe, If You Work Very Hard, You Get To The Top Ahead Of Everybody Else.
