Brian’s collected pieces, volume by volume.
The best way to live your life is like a loose-fitting shirt, and never to lift heavy boxes using only your back. You’ll never foresee the ending of anything, and will only remember all the new beginnings. You must allow things close to be confusing and blurry, resting assured distant things will become clear in due time. Notice how circles and lines intersect and everything holds a mystery, like those odd things you do when falling in love.
