I first met Richard Kehl over 40 years. Do you have a short list of "best teachers?" He is on mine. He is constantly exploring, reading, listening, and his books and collages (Kehl is an artist AND a creator of books) are a distillation from his unique observations and experiences. Do you need to open a window to your creative brain or to your memories? Open a Kehl book, at any page, and find words to bring you to yourself. These books are gifts.

Another string of pearls...

Richard Kehl has given us, his circle of readers & enthusiasts, another string of pearls of collected and eclectic wisdom with It Takes A Long Time to Become Young. This rich collage of quotes, from Rilke to Raymond Chandler, provokes, in turn, real thought, feeling, inspiration, laughter, reflection; provides in short, longer or occasional sittings wiser ways to look at and live life; points of view that put new and sudden spring in the mind, heart...and step. Definitely a book to have round and give out, one that won't gather dust but will instead gather great appreciation.
