Just letting this Garcia quote do the talking for me today:
“It’s been going on hot and heavy out there for years. But see, everybody’s had a chance to take a good look at it, step away from it, you know, that isn’t it — fighting, and hassling, and bloodletting, and killing and all that shit, that ain’t it. Whatever life is about, that’s not it. You know, I think everybody should take one step backwards and two steps sideways and let the whole thing collapse.”

“We’re in such a hurry most of the time we never get much chance to talk. The result is a kind of endless day-to-day shallowness, a monotony that leaves a person wondering years later where all the time went and sorry that it’s all gone.”
― Robert M. Pirsig
