The Dharma Bums- Pg. 120-149

" Everything is possible. I am God, I am Buddha, I am imperfect Ray Smith, all the time in the world from life to life to do what is to do, to do what is done, to do the timeless doing, infinitely perfect within, why cry, why worry, perfect like mind essence and the minds of banana peels."

The thing about this books as i have noticed is that, Ray goes on these tangents were he is just expressing himself but he is not telling us how he feels directly he is talking about somehing bigger every time he goes on like this. He is saying that everything is connected. Every one thing that someone does directly effects another thing. Also kinda talking about rencartantion that evertything you do form this one life gets carried onto your next life.

pg 129

" Here i am killin myself drivin this rig back and forth from Ohio to L.A. and I am making more money then you ever had in your whole life as a hobo, but you're the one who enjoys life and not only that but you do it without workingor a whole lot of money. Now who's smart, you or me?...he was a great man and i liked him and he liked me and said ' well I'll tell you, wupposin i drive you all the way to Ohio."

I love this quote this whole conversation, I love how much of a free drifter Ray is and how he meets people just avrage people and makes them think gives them prespective. He without even doing much but have a comon curtasy but making him dinner and chatting with him has make this man think about his life VS Rays, how he is working so hard and making money but isent compleattly happy he is doig all the right things in socity but isent happy and Ray not doing anythign that socity tells you is so hapy and doesent need a dime. And then when the guy offers him a ride, that was great becaouse now they are friend has he says latter on he would help him out he si shwing Ray some kindeness, and i dont thinkt ha most people int he world could get kindness liekt hat if they dident give it out themsleves.
