Brian’s collected pieces, volume by volume.
The world does not need fixing. It’s you that’s broken. Breaking the world so it matches your madness will do nothing to soothe your anger, nor deliver you to the center of this Universe. Pick up your brokenness in some misshapen rock. See your countenance in the dark and tangled bramble. Call out to the wind for truth and wisdom. Go into the night and face your worst fears. When you awake, it will be clear there is nothing you must do but love.
