"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Live.


I've been going into the woods, into the thickets, since I was a little boy.  After I hurt my eye, I was blinded in my left eye, I think I retreated from the world to the world of thickets.  So I started sleeping outside a lot when I was a little boy, usually with my dog.  I felt much happier sleeping out in the forest, especially in the summer.  Perhaps someday I think I will even die laying out by a fire, under the stars, which is a much better way to live perhaps.
