All the pieces fall right into place...

The best teachers have showed me that things have to be done bit by bit. Nothing that means anything happens quickly - we only think it does. The motion of drawing back a bow and sending an arrow straight into a target takes only a split second, but it is a skill many years in the making. So it is with a life, anyone's life. I may write about things that could be described as moments captured in time, but they are only shadows of the larger truth, fragments separated from the whole cycle of becoming. And if I can tell an old-time story now about a man who is walking about, it is because I spent many years walking about alone, listening to voices that came from nowhere, and kept me company as I sailed towards a greater understanding of myself.
