21) The Sun“Everybody does it.” It’s our fantasy that everyone is enjoying an unending party raging around us, without our participation, and without consequence, but we know in our deepest souls that can’t be true. On the contrary, “everybody” is trying to get a handle on their raging appetites & desires, and anyone who can get on top of this dangerous surfboard is envied. Our personal histories are littered with bodies crippled and the dead, those who stayed under the surfboard far too long, moaning, “I just can’t change” and “I don’t want to live if I can’t live exactly the way I want.” This is the raving of toddlers who refuse to go to sleep, unaware that tomorrow brings new promises of fresh and totally unforeseen excitement and discovery, precious treasures we will someday look back with pride on as lifetime achievements, an heirloom to “pass down” to the people we love; those three magic words: “you can do it.”
