More From Mahatma Gandhi

John hall, my geography teacher at school inspired me to a lifelong interest in geography and a curiosity about our world which has stayed with me through my life. geography is a living, breathing subject, constantly adapting itself to change. it is dynamic and relevant. for me geography is a great adventure with a purpose.
Teacher School Adventure
I wrote a huge number of letters that spring: one a week to naoko, several to reiko, and several more to midori. i wrote letters in the classroom, i wrote letters at my desk at home with seagull in my lap, i wrote letters at empty tables during my breaks at the italian restaurant. it was as if i were writing letters to hold together the pieces of my crumbling life.
Spring Home Writing
Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.

And what you do is you go into where your anger is, if you're writing anger, you go into where your hatred is, if you're writing hatred. your joy is, if you're writing joy. you find the source of the energy that draws hatred, anger, joy, etc., etc., etc. that's what you have to find. that's what you do as an actor and that's what you do as a writer. and you bring people to the page.
Writing People Hatred
You know when a company wants to use letters in their phone number, but often they'll use too many letters? "call 1-800-i-really-enjoy-brand-new-carpeting." too many letters, man, must i dial them all? "hello? hold on, man, i'm only on 'enjoy.' how did you know i was calling? you're good, i can see why they hired you!"

I actually dislike, more than many people, working through literary allusion. i just feel that there's something a bit snobbish or elitist about that. i don't like it as a reader, when i'm reading something. it's not just the elitism of it; it jolts me out of the mode in which i'm reading. i've immersed myself in the world and then when the light goes on i'm supposed to be making some kind of literary comparison to another text. i find i'm pulled out of my kind of fictional world, i'm asked to use my brain in a different kind of way. i don't like that.
