wanderlust

I allow myself the luxury of breakfast (I am no nun, for Christ’s sake). Charmed as I am by the sputter of bacon, and the eye-opening properties of eggs, it’s the coffee that’s really sacramental. In the old days, I spread fires and floods and pestilence on my toast. Nowadays, I’m more selective, I only read my horoscope by the quiet glow of the marmalade.

If you are lucky in this life a window will appear on a battlefield between two armies. And when the soldiers look into the window they don’t see their enemies, they see themselves as children. And they stop fighting and go home and go to sleep. When they wake up, the land is well again.

I’m glad mushrooms are against the law, because I took them one time, and you know what happened? I laid in a field of green grass for four hours going, “My God! I love everything.” Yeah, now if that isn’t a hazard to our country….how are we gonna keep building nuclear weapons, you know what I mean? What’s going to happen to the arms industry when we realize that we’re all one?!”

We convince ourselves that we’re smarter and better informed than our ancestors for no other reason than the fact that we live after them.
