A Schizophrenic's Notes

I Could Have Written Stories Fables Anecdotes Etc. Like So Many Authors Have. But When I Am Reading Fiction I Often Wish I Knew What The Author Was Really Trying To Say. I Didnt Want A Long Distance Runaround. Rather I Wanted The Plain And Simple Directions To The Destination S/He Had In Mind. I Dont Believe The Genius Is In The Details But In Getting The Message Across. So I Wrote Down What I Know Not What My Imagination Could Spin Or Weave With It. I Tried To Be Clear And To Stay On The Subject. I Tried To Be Lyrical Heavy And Familiar. In This Book A Schizophrenics Notes I Often Write About Inner Space And The Risks Inherent To Connecting With Others Or Of Failing To Connect With Others With Our Inner Space. As Much As I Would Have Liked To Have Given The Reader A Handle Or Steering Wheel To Hold On To That Didnt Happen. I Certainly Dont Have A Handle. One Of My Favorite Lines In My Writing Is A Buddhist One The Way That Can Be Described Isnt The Way.
