DUKKHA was the reason I wanted to start Moth Books. I fell in love with this concept of dukkha, and found all of these wonderful quotes on dukkha, and thought: "These would make great little books. I could make them!"
As is the actual nature of dukkha, things did not go as planned. I had thought I could make them by hand and sell them for fun. I got permissions for all the quotes, but I found I wasn't good at making really nice books... and the idea of selling ideas that are not mine -- and more importantly, are wonderful to share -- became more and more distasteful.
But I was still in love with the idea of MOTH books, "Books Made with My Own Two Hands." So, what to do?
So, this. Here is my first Moth Book, DUKKHA, which I've decided will exist as a slideshow in my forest to share with everyone who happens to wander this way. Please enjoy.
