Good morning(ish) Monday David is out of town and I am in work work work mode and I am tired and bleary eyed and incapable of writing anything other than this stream of conscience ramble. But I did find this quote from "Into the Wild" that kinda sums it all up for me during this very cuckoo, chaotic retrogradient of a moment in this thing called life/work/life:
"If you want to get more out of life, Ron, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty. And so, Ron, in short, get out of Salton City and hit the Road. I guarantee you will be very glad you did.
...Don’t settle down and sit in one place. Move around, be nomadic, make each day a new horizon. You are still going to live a long time, Ron, and it would be a shame if you did not take the opportunity to revolutionize your life and move into an entirely new realm of experience."
Life may be crazy right now, but is it the right kind of crazy? I know not, but I do love the above quote. If I can't go to there now, I can at least embody that restless spirit and yearning to hit the road and see some stuff- I'm a nomad in my own mind right now. Cause that's what's up this a good quote is a good quote kind of Monday as I'm too tired to write my own good words. Yours, in literature. Maybe moving to the wilderness is the way to go, and leave the jungle of Manhattan behind. XO
