'ever seen a leaf - a leaf from a tree?' 'yes.' i saw one recently - a yellow one, a little green, wilted at the edges. blown by the wind. when i was a little boy, i used to shut my eyes in winter and imagine a green leaf, with veins on it, and the sun shining ...'

A novel is not an allegory.... it is the sensual experience of another world. if you don't enter that world, hold your breath with the characters and become involved in their destiny, you won't be able to empathize, and empathy is at the heart of the novel. this is how you read a novel: you inhale the experience. so start breathing.

There is always something to do. there are hungry people to feed, naked people to clothe, sick people to comfort and make well. and while i don't expect you to save the world i do think it's not asking too much for you to love those with whom you sleep, share the happiness of those whom you call friend, engage those among you who are visionary and remove from your life those who offer you depression, despair and disrespect.
