"Don’t settle down and sit in one place. Move around, be nomadic, make
each day a new horizon. You are still going to live a long time, and it
would be a shame if you did not take the opportunity to revolutionize
your life and move into an entirely new realm of experience.
You are wrong if you think joy emanates only or principally from human relationships. God has placed it all around us. It is in everything and anything we might experience. We just have to have the courage to turn against our habitual lifestyle and engage in unconventional living.
My point is that you do not need me or anyone else around to bring this new kind of light in your life. It is simply waiting out there for you to grasp it, and all you have to do is reach for it. The only person you are fighting is yourself and your stubbornness to engage in new circumstances."
