I dedicate this
library and the contents therein to Hugh O'Doherty,
Ronald Heifetz, Riley Sinder, Dean Williams, Sheila Blake, and to
those who participated with me in PAL- 101b (2003), PAL-164, and
PAL-101a (2003).
Thank you all
for what you have given, taken, appreciated, and
ignored, all times I have enjoyed Greatly, have suffered greatly, both
with those that loved me, and alone; and here I honor all of you, as I
have been honored by you all.
"See what a wound life is. I Call
you to forgiveness, love, acceptance of limitations.
This is what love requires. This is what love does… If you enter into this process of
self-knowledge and knowledge of another, it will break your heart. It did mine! Yet
as dreadful as it is, it is the best thing I ever did. The best thing that could possibly
happen to you is for you to become a raw nerve-end, a broken heart, inconsolable,
with sorrow on your face and ecstasy as well, no longer a conventional man or
woman, no longer able to put on a social face — incapable of it, with no argument,
no anger, no feeling rejected, you responsible and you dying, and no absolutes
coming to you through the bodies of others.
"Everything you console yourself with
is a lie. When you get down to the bottom of it,
broken-hearted in your distress, maybe you will discover what ‘in love’ is. It is not
about what you must do. It is about transcending yourself, about not fulfilling
yourself. And it is not amusing. It is passionate and it is terrible.”
