There's no one with intelligence in this town except that man over there playing with the children, the one riding the stick horse. He has keen, fiery insight and vast dignity like the night sky, but he conceals it in the madness of child's play.
Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder.
Tear off the mask. Your face is glorious

Open your Eyes, for this World is only a Dream.
If Light Is In Your Heart You Will Find Your Way Home.
