I can see how some people rail against being just one creature in this world, a small worm under the bark, making small but delicate trails that are seldom revealed to the light of day. I, for one, relish my insignificance, a sense of scale. A sense of our folly, in that I am rich.

We are clouds in trousers. Nerves, big nerves, tiny nerves, many nerves! galloped madly till soon their legs gave way.

No man is an island,

Entire of itself;

Every man is a piece of the continent,

A part of the main.

I can tell a tale about a writer now well known from Russia. Victor Pelevin. He shared a space with my housemate and I for about one week on Capp street and 24th in San Francisco about 30 years ago. I showed him around and got to know him once upon a time.
