“Good diet and exercise are key, but abject fear has its own rewards.

“Curiously, the balance seems to come when writing is woven into every aspect of my life, like eating or exercising - one flows constantly into the next: I'll wake up and have coffee, read the news, then write a letter or two (always in longhand), then go teach, and after teaching write a bit in a journal - dreams, what I had for breakfast and lunch and why I had it, what's on the iPod, sexual habits, etc. - then read a bit, then work on a real bit of writing...you get the idea.” WritingTwoIdeasRealDreamSeemsNextBitsTeachTeachingHabitBalanceExerciseEatingNewsAspectFlowLettersWake UpCoffeeEtcBreakfastLunchJournalWovenIpods Author:Kevin Keck

We have within us the ability to change for the better and to find dignity as individuals rather than as drones in one mass movement or another.
