Sensitivity isn't being wimpy. It's about being so painfully aware that a flea landing on a dog is like a sonic boom. I enjoy a lot of mystery.

Music was like my first real toy. I was an only child for a while, and I was alone a lot of the time - and I liked it. I still like being alone.

I disoriented myself from everything about being a human being and just played and played and played and sang and sang and sang.

The fatter the flea the leaner the dog.

People have a certain perfection about them, no matter who they are. Like when Janis Joplin sang. Gorgeous!

Some observations can only be done from the ground, such as listen for the sonic boom and observing the hot air trail in the wake of the sample return capsule drift in front of the Moon.
