ITS ONLY MAKE BELIEVE

Hi all,
Listenede to 'Speaking of Faith' the other day on my Public Radio station and listened to an interview with Tole (?), the latest GURU master.
I had read a couple of book reviews and when it showed up at the library I took it out. 7 day book. I tried to read it. I was ready for change. But, I couldn't get into it.
So, I was interested in the interview. I actually felt guilty because I didn't get into it--"IT WAS ON OPRA'S LIST!!"
The guy was alright, but I'm still not ready for his message.
I understand the whole thing about NOW.
The whole shucking of the ego makes perfect sense.
However, I remember that I tried three times to read Persig's Zen and
The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.
Finally,the fourth try, I got it. I have read it at least 4 times sionce--the book changed my life.
I guess I'm slow, but when I FINALLY get a hold of something--watch out.

It seems I'm trying to get a hold of life.
