sent me searching for a citation for the familiar

There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception. Aldous Huxley pic.twitter.com/dXejoP2gs1

I always have a notebook with me. Writing by hand lets me express ideas differently and it's a valuable part of how I write. #writing

“If you can fall in love again and again, if you can forgive your parents for the crime of bringing you into the world, if you are content to get nowhere, just take each day as it comes, if you can forgive as well as forget, if you can keep from growing sour, surly, bitter and cynical, man you’ve got it half licked.”
