Today is the 127th birthday of the author, Aldous Huxley. I first started reading his books at Interlochen Center for the Arts the summer of 1989. The library was in a stone building, cool in temperature and cool in aesthetics. That summer, I read Brave New World and Brave New World Revisited. I was transported. Later, I read somewhere that his writing has inspired a lot of people that I find to be visionaries, it was great to understand a bit more of their inspirational foundations. The world is a better place because he was in it and still feels the loss that he has left.
