Interpretation
True fulfillment and understanding come from within, rather than external achievements.

That's it really; it's all love, whichever way you look at it, it's all love. How much you can Get from each other and that's determined by how much you're Giving to each other...

He simply woke, looked out the open door at the moon and unrolled his trousers and put them on.
We are, all of us, exploring a world none of us understands...searching for a more immediate, ecstatic, and penetrating mode of living...for the integrity, the courage to be whole, living in relation to one another in the full poetry of existence.
