I'm passionate about books, horses, music, food and I love to travel. If you're interested in these things and want to kill some time for a while, then I'm happy for the company.
But I do not wish to escape to myself, I wish to escape from myself. I wish to obliterate my consciousness and my knowledge of independent existence, my guilts, my secretiveness, what you would (perhaps unkindly) call my “hypocrisy”- Allen Ginsburg (in letter to Jack Kerouac)
“So writing could be seen as ‘writing your mind’…all you have to do to tap into the immediate mind of the moment. What are you thinking about? and just note it down, or observe what’s vivid, coming to mind. Where do you start? Well, with the chaos of your mind. How do you do it? Just tap into it and write what’s there in minute particular detail…It is a blessing for other people if you can communicate and relieve their sense of isolation, confusion, bewilderment and suffering by offering your own mind as a sample of what’s palpable, visible and whatever little you’ve learned.”
