East vs West 23

You guys are going somewhere or just going?
— Jack Kerouac, On the Road

We are just going, going crazy. It is a yellow line fever, pulling us to a place just a little further down the road from where we are now. We have become very good at going crazy to a nowhere place just further on down the road. Now, we have to concentrate on increasing our productivity so we can get to that crazy nowhere place just further on down the road in a little less time.

THE SEARCH FOR SELF IN THE MATRIX OF SOCIAL GOVERNANCE

I find myself wishing I had more time to get things done. Then, when I find that time, I jump on a bike and start to ride. It’s as if I need to move in order to feel calm. When I am riding on a road, I can think. I can dream. I can imagine. It’s as if movement itself is the oxygen that I need. Then, I realize that it may be ghost that I am chasing, shadows of immovable objects, ephemeral shades of ennui finger painting a sad story just for me.
