My Laptop... |
“Be in love with your life” along with
“Believe in the holy contour of life” were tidbits of advice Jack Kerouac had
for young writers. I sit with others and this experience steeps me in the “holy
contours” of someone else’s life. My demands mellow as I see that most of what
I so sorely needed is already met, or they don’t really matter all that much
anyway. The conditions for a life I can love are already set for the most part.
Most of my demands are those of a beggar at a feast complaining about a side
dish. The main-course is compassion and there is enough compassion between us
to fill all our needs.
