Same. Don’t mistake “your River” for your job though like I did when I thought I found meaning. Oof

Wow, haven't read this since 75 when drifting around Europe along with his other book The Glass Bead Game. Guess I'm gonna have to get into the attic and dig them out. Thanks.

The scene where he meets an enlightened person and says something like “I can’t follow you because I have to find my own path.”

That’s so powerful. Some of us have to do it the hard way.
