<strong>Conversations</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>Avant</strong>-<strong>garde</strong> <strong>Sages</strong><br />

appreciated by those who inquire about trustworthy guidance<br />

<strong>with</strong>out bondage to any form of cultism.<br />

You're a heck of a writer.<br />

MUZ MURRAY: Thank you.<br />

WIZARD: Right on.<br />

TRIP: Wow, what a life you've had. You've been compared to<br />

Indiana Jones, but I think that he's a shut-in compared to you, my<br />

God.<br />

MUZ MURRAY: Cheers.<br />

TRIP: I mean, what a life you've had. I mean, just unbelievable.<br />

MUZ MURRAY: Yes, it's been very differently spaced, like<br />

growing up as a bohemian painter, and then going in as an actor,<br />

and then hitchhiking all the way down Africa, and then three years<br />

round India, a lot of different changes have happened.<br />

TRIP: In the early '20s you had that seven years of vagabondage<br />

around the world, I mean, you were just a fearless young man, you<br />

just threw yourself into life, didn't you?<br />

MUZ MURRAY: Yes, well I wanted to test myself to understand<br />

how much I could face <strong>with</strong>out money, <strong>with</strong>out home, being<br />

thousands of miles away from anywhere to see how I could survive<br />

and what my capacities were.<br />

TRIP: And you barely survived, it sounds like, I mean, there were<br />

knifings you managed to get through, and muggings, and you had<br />

your money stolen and…<br />

MUZ MURRAY: Poison darts and shootings, and ambushes by<br />

Somali tribesmen, and stuff like that; it was very Rider Haggard<br />

stuff all the way down Africa.<br />
