I have a black belt in Haiku.

How to make love stay? An unusual theme for a book built for pleasure. And, strangely, this is a book (the book of which I am writing) that asks serious questions without ever once being serious itself. Simply a good use of your time.

It captures the playful essence of love and of being alive. And it inspired me to recommend it to you. It also describes with appropriate cunning the essences of tequila, champaign, and blackberries.

Still Life With Woodpecker, by Tom Robbins.

A suggestion, only.

"If you believe in peace, act peacefully; if you believe in love, acting lovingly; if you believe every which way, then act every which way, that's perfectly valid— but don't go out trying to sell your beliefs to the system. You end up contradicting what you profess to believe in, and you set a bum example. If you want to change the world, change yourself."
