“If you really want to communicate something, even if it’s just an emotion or an attitude, let alone an idea, the least effective and least enjoyable way is directly. It only goes in about an inch. But if you can get people to the point where they have to think a moment what it is you’re getting at, and then discover it, the thrill of discovery goes right through the heart.”

“If you are looking for me
I am beyond nowhere [ … ]
Beyond nowhere there is a place desire opens
like an umbrella,
breeze like thirst sinks deep into the leaves.
Bells of rain carol fresh watery tunes
about how lonely humans are here
where the shadows of tree trunks stream into
endlessness.
If you are looking for me,
come soft and quietly, lest you crack the glass
heart
that cups my loneliness.”
― The Oasis of Now: Selected Poems
