Breath Sweeps Mind
"Listening to these tapes
means that you have to ration yourself ---
you grow so fond of the roshi
you want to go through them all in one day."
"I have yet to hear a performer

is proof that
more than through freedom of religion or
freedom of speech or
the pure concepts of democracy,
our country came into being because of
simple brazen land hunger."
