I’ve read where there are to be 144,000 on the role, but I’m not entirely sure that’s the limit. The point of this first one is to learn to write your own name into it, and mentor more authors for a sequel. Lets hope there will be more, but for now, this book offers hope in a world with a plastic trash gyre twice the size of Texas floating in the Pacific and growing, frying in Fukushima, with the sea life like sea stars literally dissolving and seagulls disappeared. Shall we continue with the fracked aquifer situation, and Tar Sands? Can we really fix this? For goodness sake, how bad does it have to get before we realize we have to think outside the box. Way outside the box.

For many, the challenge of even figuring out how to even begin studying this manual would be daunting, but for others, it’s clear as day. The same way country folk would breeze through the Barkley Marathon, (like the movie The Barkley Marathon) especially after drinking a mason jar of homemade everclear on a Friday evening after work, stumbling home in the dark, avoiding Grampa Smith’s farm and his shotgun loaded with salt, then realizing they forgot their wallet back at the moonshine still, having to go all the way back the other way ‘round. They just know their way in the woods, where for others the challenge breaks the soul.

People with a major advantage are Artists, (like the movie Exit through the Gift Shop) Foster kids, (like the movie Baby Driver) and veteran nomads (like the movie Marwencol)

Priority number one, Read parts one and two, carefully. Glossing over the links or skipping the music, drastically reduces the learning curve.

Keep an open mind.

One can take this as seriously as one wishes, but the most movement happens with the least resistance, when keeping it to oneself.

Everything is true. Not just these words, which are all true, but I mean everything.

Study the finer points of metaphor and simile.

The mantra is Just Passing Through. Respect all boundaries, personal and physical, at all costs. Be considerate, Follow all laws, and Cultivate patience.

I mean to say, we can agree this world is insane. It is so up-side down, sanity appears insane. But if one gets stuck in a psyche ward or the county jail, one is truly stuck indeed.

Remember, stay humble. There’s always a dweeb in the room, and that’s ok. If you don’t know who that is and I’m not there, then you may be it.
