ann1962 you'll be able to skip about half my posts since I keep lifting stuff from her! This time it's Will Breszny's Free Will Astrology, really worth looking into. Here's mine for this week, and it's fine, right on the mark, as I set out on my travels--not quite as amazing as Vollmann's to say the least:
LIBRA week of May 25
William Vollmann is an author who travels the world in search of crazy experiences to write about. In the course of his adventures, he has lived with prostitutes in Cambodia, hung out with rebel insurgents in Afghanistan, and almost died on two occasions, once while stuck in the Arctic's frozen wastes and once when caught in a crossfire in Bosnia. Despite having lived the equivalent of ten lifetimes, however, he's not jaded. Reviewing his work in The New York Review of Books, Michael Wood says Vollman has "seen it all but he still hasn’t lost his innocence." Your assignment right now is to achieve a Vollman-esque state of open-minded freshness as you seek out adventures that are as feisty (though not as risky) as Vollman's. It's time for you to cultivate what Zen practitioners call beginner's mind.
