Street Level Zen: Age

Don't write anything till you're 25.

Don't write for the high school yearbook; don't write for the college literary magazine.

Don't write that stuff.

You've never had any experiences. Just shut up.

I did not have anything to say until I was 35

and even then, not much.

Street Level Zen: Awakening

"Until the sleeper is aroused from his slumber, everything that transpires inside the dream makes perfect sense."
