“You are a unique guy, no doubt. A crazy horse in a crazy landscape, a friend of the unspeakable, adopted by the great outdoors, a conqueror of the jealous. You ride the swells raw, tame the wild Indian and go to pacify the Pacific. You shudder at the sight of a rare bird. You are almost no longer a man because you are more than a man, you are the world, the ball that rolls on and on, you are your own wake, your fear, your solitude, your courage, your balance. You are rolling down your other side. You are the best of yourself. Beauty has lodged itself in your hollows and bumps, your cracks and fissures, your sweat, the cold and the incandescent, your multiplied consciousness. You are all this and more.

“Unroll, unroll your carpet of joy in the difficulty and the suffering. Unroll!”
