This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 28, 2009:
Like the weather, advice from your friends, some of it is good, some of it is bad, for it's always good weather, IT TAKES 2 TO MAKE A THING GO RIGHT.
Inside of everyone of us is a unique spirit that belongs only to us.
This spirit doesn't bring home wages or take care of anybody, and it's completely free to want fantastic things---to run the four-minute mile, or to be a mystic.
This spirit has been shut up in a soundproof box for many years.
Most of us get caught up in a kind of bening servitude when our kids are little, when, for years, we hardly have time to look at a magazine.
Even when our kids grow up and their real demands have ended, we don't always remember how to stop serving or how to fill the new time we've been given. We lose track of the years until one day something happens that jolts our sense of sameness and wakes us up to the realization that we've been drifting: a friend dies unexpectedly, our first kid goes off to college and we realize we were working so hard we forgot to be around while she was growing up, or we just realize that we've reached the pinnacle of our career and there's nowhere else to go.
That's when the free spirit in you gets loose and starts saying,
"Didn't you know there were 2 of us? ...There's me. And there's me!"
