Harlan disliked handling money because of its abstractness and impersonality;
for he did not enjoy either paying it or receiving it in payment.
He felt a social embarrassment in monetary transactions that country people
still feel, as if money is simply too crude a means of exchange
between human beings.

so many things become clean or clarified at this point in my life, things like this that have always been a truth for me. why is it so at 42 that i begin to see? why is it so? and why not before? (but we are always beginning to see.) and what is next?
i kiss this mysterious life and move into this next phase...
