If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it.

When you let go of desire, then you're free to enjoy whatever is right in front of you.

The hedonistic lifestyle is difficult to achieve when you're still carrying your own gear. Trust me that you don't feel glamorous with a 60-pound amp in your arms it's a lot less sexy than toting a vodka gimlet and impossible to do in heels.
