I Touch The Earth, The Earth Touches me -Hugh Prather – $4

Back to the cerebal stuff :p

Excerpts from the author’s foreword -

… I want to remind you that every entry in this book is at best an asymptotic shot at life, and at my life, not at yours. If my words affirm you, then savor them for the moment; but if they cause you to distrust your own experience, spit them out. You are the only authority on what is good for you…

This book is essentially a collection of gentle reflections and notes.  Even as I put this up for sale and re-reading it, a lot of the statements reasonates with me, just as it did 10 years ago when I discovered him. Book in good condition but with yellow spots.

“It makes no sense to hurry up, and so mess up, what i am doing now, in order to get started on what I plan to do next.

Everytime I am centered in the future, I suffer a temporary loss in this life.”

And the line that describes my current situation best…

“How I am working on a problem often indicates how i am keeping it a problem.”
