Brian’s collected pieces, volume by volume.
Please forgive me all the times I wrote or spoke about “my life.” This life never was and cannot be my own. If I am not one with life, I am so damn close I no longer need nor wish to distinguish myself from it. If I say my life, you must understand I’m at a loss for words to describe my epiphany from this tiny threshold. I now hear the ocean waves, one on top of the other shhhhhhhhh shhhhhhhhhhhh shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. That’s all folks!
