Generating Inspired Collisions

A gigantic hopeless exciting futile productive comprehensive life adventure

was a dedication copy, and inside the front cover I found this inscription:

sometimes it's hard to tell the truth because you think that the truth is too

uninterested in the search itself, and the sweetest sound of all is the sudden silence

you need to tolerate twenty-dollar screws and five-hundred dollar screwdrivers

bankrolling you, rather than the idiot prince of American shopkeepers

other beaders were bending, staring into the containers, or looking at the strings

of something lighter, finer, more intellectually and spiritually unassailable

kinking their spirals around the long, reaching, hooky bramble suckers

where a man of genius could make and remake himself every day until he was king.
