• So tired of this straight line, and everywhere you turn
  There's vultures and thieves at your back
  The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
  That you make up for all that you lack.
  It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
  It's easier to believe
  In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
  That brings me to my knees.

• That's what building a body of work is all about. It's about the daily labor, the many individual acts, the choices large and small that add up over time, over a lifetime to a lasting legacy. It's about not being satisfied with the latest achievement, the latest gold star, because the one thing I know about a body of work is that it's never finished. It's cumulative. It deepens and expands with each day you give your best. You may have setbacks and you may have failures, but you're not done.

• I wander though China. Without ever having boarded a plane. My travels take place here in the Tokoyo subways, in the backseat of a taxi... all of a sudden this city will start to go.

No, this isn't a place for me.

  Haruki Murakami
