Looking for someone to talk to, so maybe this quotation from Philip Dick will spur some discussion. As Shabby, who kindly read my manuscript knows, I'm a quotation junkie . . .
“Barefoot conducts his seminars on his houseboat in Sausalito. It costs a hundred dollars to find out why we are on this Earth. You also get a sandwich, but I wasn't hungry that day. John Lennon had just been killed and I think I know why we are on this Earth; it's to find out that what you love the most will be taken away from you, probably due to an error in high places rather than by design.”
