In the midst of all the responsibility –children and home, school, homework, running people thither and yon, financial stress, deadlines, etc., etc.– I feel the irresistible pull. A pull towards higher thought, deeper conversation, new experiences, alternative perspectives, challenges.
I seek intoxication, but not the crude and ordinary kind. Not from wine or substances, but from a life really lived. You know?
I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
