How Is Your Heart?
 
  during my worst times
on the park benches
in the jails
or living with
whores
I always had this certain
contentment-
I wouldn't call it
happiness-
it was more of an inner
balance
that settled for
whatever was occuring
and it helped in the
factories
and when relationships
went wrong
with the
girls.

Charles Bukowski

Ah, yes. Ditto, good sir.

A certain 'go with the flow' approach to life, I think, may have helped sustain him.
