The admirable one who lives on an island
Dreams are real as long as they happen, wrote Robert Lax.
I myself have no idea as to what constitutes what's real and what isn't, much less what constitutes a real human being: fortunately, I'm with someone who does and who also understands money and how it works.
As the world begins to fill up more and more with the things I haven't done, the things I haven't done begin to outnumber the things I've done.
Some of the things I did were horrible of course, really horrible, mean, small, beneath me both as an individual and as part of the collective.
However, when I look at myself and others with this perspective I see we're all just finding our way as best we can. And I am humbled, able to count myself and others as among my good friends.
