Wishing won't make it so hoping won't do it, praying won't do it religion won't do it, philosophy won't do it the supreme court won't do it, the president and the congress won't do it the un won't do it, the h-bomb won't do it, the sun and the moon won't do it and god won't do it, and i certainly won't do it that leaves you, you'll have to do it

It is this nothingness (in solitude) that i have to face in my solitude, a nothingness so dreadful that everything in me wants to run to my friends, my work, and my distractions so that i can forget my nothingness and make myself believe that i am worth something. the task is to persevere in my solitude, to stay in my cell until all my seductive visitors get tired of pounding on my door and leave me alone. the wisdom of the desert is that the confrontation with our own frightening nothingness forces us to surrender ourselves totally and unconditionally to the lord jesus christ.

Towns are full of people, houses full of tenants, hotels full of guests, trains full of travelers, cafés full of customers, parks full of promenaders, consulting-rooms of famous doctors full of patients, theatres full of spectators, and beaches full of bathers. what previously was, in general, no problem, now begins to be an everyday one, namely, to find room.

One's condition on marijuana is always existential. one can feel the importance of each moment and how it is changing one. one feels one's being, one becomes aware of the enormous apparatus of nothingness - the hum of a hi-fi set, the emptiness of a pointless interruption, one becomes aware of the war between each of us, how the nothingness in each of us seeks to attack the being of others, how our being in turn is attacked by the nothingness in others.

So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. i'm not happy. i don't know what's wrong. if i just had another job, i could be happy. if i just get married, i would be happy. well if i just wasn't married, i would be happy. well, if i just had some kids, i'll be happy. i'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. if i had a bigger house, i would be happy. well, i got a big house. now if i just had a maid to clean, i'd be happy. well, now if i just had a maid i could get along with better, i'd be happy.

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood, a beautiful day for a neighbor. would you be mine? could you be mine?... it's a neighborly day in this beauty wood, a neighborly day for a beauty. would you be mine? could you be mine?... i've always wanted to have a neighbor just like you. i've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you. so, let's make the most of this beautiful day. since we're together we might as well say: would you be mine? could you be mine? won't you be my neighbor? won't you please, won't you please? please won't you be my neighbor?

A look which reveals inward stress adds more beauty to the face, no matter how much tragedy and pain it bespeaks; but the face which, in silence, does not announce hidden mysteries is not beautiful, regardless of the symmetry of its features.
