or at least so typical of me, that i would cull a collection of quotes that resonated in me and then present that as the bulk of a blahg meant to be myself talking.  well i guess i am a collector after all, never of objects but always of lyrics.  i am of course emo enough that i obsess over song lyrics as well, but the blahgging of these seems too cheesy even for me.  because the lines from these books are really a careful collection, there is a center that is pulling them into this, and it is helping to write its own book as they draw together, and really making a map quite accurate, with which i hope to work further later, and the process of the practice is helping me to focus on the trip itself.
