Quote of the Week - Jack Kerouac

Last week I through some commentary into the quote - after this one - I am just going to throw my quote up - and if I have comments - I will throw them into the commentary - after all - they do not show the art critic's musings in the Louvre -

So this week's quote is from Jack Kerouac's - The Dharma Bums

"Since then I’ve become a little hypocritical about my lip-service and a little tired and cynical. Because now I am grown so old and neutral. . . . But then I really believed in the reality of- charity and kindness and humility and zeal and neutral tranquillity and wisdom and ecstasy, and I believed that I was an oldtime bhikku in modern clothes wandering the world (usually the immense triangular area of New York to Mexico City to San Francisco) in order to turn the wheel of the True Meaning, or Dharma, and gain merit for myself as a future Buddha (Awakener) and as a future Hero in Paradise."
