“The apartment was entirely, was only, for her: a wall of books, both read and unread, all of them dear to her not only in themselves, their tender spines, but in the moments or periods they evoked [...] Her self, then, was represented in her books.

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me..... Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And Eternity in an hour.

Quaking aspens are one of the most widespread deciduous trees in N. America. They change to beautiful shades of yellow in the fall & appear to shimmer in the sun.
Every tree in an aspen stand is often connected to a single root system.

"You say that's alright, hold tight
Well, I don't even know if I'm doin' this right
Well, alright, hold tight
We can stay out all day, we can run around all night
Well, all night, all night
Well, it's time to go home
And I ain't even done with the night..."

The reading was intended to promote the new gallery. The poet Kenneth Rexroth organized the reading, and in preparation, he introduced Gary Snyder to Allen Ginsberg. Ginsberg introduced everyone to Jack Kerouac, and they became the core of the group of writers known as the Beats.

“One quality of a good songwriter is to be vague. A vague notion, a vague image, but enough to give the listener the opportunity to make more out of what’s being said than is there. That’s the great thing about Bob Dylan’s songs: We the listeners have made more out of them than he ever intended.”

“I’ve seen beautiful art on the sides of buildings. I’ve seen beautiful art in museums. I’ve seen beautiful art in galleries. Beautiful art is everywhere.”
