*Holding a 1938 British first edition print of Emersons A candidate for Truth* O HOW fascinating and Precious! I can smell and feel the 1930s as I breathe in and touch these 76 year old pages. Imagine ALL the readers through whom this book was passed on through the past seven decades to reach me Here and Now? Most of them completed their Earth phase and sailed away. Emerson certainly thought and spoke my language. I could SO easily fall in love with his all-questioning maverick mind.... No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature. Good and bad are but names very readily transferable to that or this; the only right is what is after my constitution,the only wrong what is against it... I am ashamed to think how easily we capitulate to badges and names, to large societies and dead institutions. Every decent and well-spoken individual affects and sways me more than is right. I ought to go upright and vital, and speak the rude truth in all ways. So my dear friends, if your truth offends others, let it offend others. There is no way to please everyone. You are only responsible to seek the Truth withIN your Being!
