Tait’s Recent Updates
“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”

“The Hero Path
We have not even to risk the adventure alone
for the heroes of all time have gone before us.
The labyrinth is thoroughly known ...
we have only to follow the thread of the hero path.
And where we had thought to find an abomination
we shall find a God.
And where we had thought to slay another
we shall slay ourselves.
Where we had thought to travel outwards
we shall come to the center of our own existence.
And where we had thought to be alone
we shall be with all the world.”

Thank you for reviewing that, it's one of those zines that usually finds its way shuffled to the back of the journal closet. But as you described in your comment does also bring back a flush of inspiration for those years, as well as a bit of laughter about how young I was then. You don't need to change either the title or author, but it's nice to know that it's out there and people still think of it from time to time.

Hey Tait! Did you notice that I reviewed a bk of yrs?
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33...
I called it "Collected Writings" & credited it to "Sprout".
Let me know if you want me to change either of those.
