The Best verse & some lines for evoking the right consciousness

While distributing at the Hollywood farmers' market I approached a man who, after seeing my books, said, "No, it's not my thing." Then he went on his way.

This time I went in, and there was Judith, a 78-year-old lady, the caretaker for the day. We talked...

We have been going there for several years, and the people's response has always been encouraging. The organizers even give us a special...
