Who knows...it changes moment to moment. Right now i'm enjoying my retirement, starting my own business, traveling, visiting friends and family, painting...tending to my garden...my bad ass, 24 x 20 organic masterpiece...birthed from seed by my own hand. i'm also kind of digging my writing process...
Meet or sit and have a conversation with? Meeting is anticlimactic, who wants a grip and grin? An intense dialogue is much more my style...or a sing-song nonsense exchange with my beautiful neice. Our communication transends language...I want to meet the guy that camps out in front of the white house day after day,committed to his cause. I'm not sure which fight he is fighting...but i admire his committment and dedication...he is a non-conformist! I'd love to meet myself at 14, 16...and 22. I have some great advice and a few life lessons to share. My younger and wiser self will INSTANTLY discredit everything I say. She will feel great pity with maybe a touch of sympathy...because i am bound by a simplistic, one-dimentional mind.
