I Am Not For Everyone

I am not for everyone.

I am not for those who believe that they and their friends, allies, political parties, or churches have found the absolute truth about mankind. 

I am not for those who see human behavior as wholly formed by oppressive social forces and who deny the shadowy influence of evolution and biology, on desire, fantasy, and anarchic impulse. 

I am instead for those who elevate free thought and free speech over all other values, including material considerations of wealth, status, or physical well-being. 

I am for those who see art and the contemplation of art as a medium of intuition and revelation. 

I am for those who see life as a quest for enlightenment, a dynamic process of ceaseless observation, reflection, and self-education. 

My writing has always been motivated by the search for a voice - or rather for many voices -keyed to the moment. There is nothing more important to me then the power to describe, re-create, entrance, and provoke.
