somewhere between the future and the present

Thank goodness for literature

• "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.... And one fine morning-- 

Just like Gatsby, looking across the water to the green light on Daisy's dock. It was the promise of having. Knowing there is possible hope in the future like a warm, glowing rock to hold onto.

I never understood the relevance of this book to my life until now.

And Allen Ginsberg, you buddhist, enlightened poet you.

“I really would like to stop working forever–never work again, never do anything like the kind of work I’m doing now–and do nothing but write poetry and have leisure to spend the day outdoors and go to museums and see friends. And I’d like to keep living with someone — maybe even a man — and explore relationships that way. And cultivate my perceptions, cultivate the visionary thing in me. Just a literary and quiet city-hermit existence.”
― Allen Ginsberg

I'm inspired by the Beat Poets.
