Each Of Us Is Born With A

My Dad Was A Janitor For U.s. Radium Corporation, And He Stayed There For 37 Years. So He Didn't Read.

I Know I'm Tired Of Thinking About What I Should Have Done Yesterday. I Know I'm Just Tired. If I Knew What To Do With My Life, How To Fix It Up, I Would Have Done It A Long Time Ago. You Can't Dig That? You Think I Want To Live Like I'm Somebody's Throwaway?

As A Young Man, I Saw Families Prosper Without Reading Because There Were Always Sufficient Opportunities For Willing Workers Who Could Follow Simple Instructions. This Is No Longer The Case. Children Who Don't Read Are, In The Main, Destined For Lesser Lives. I Feel A Deep Sense Of Responsibility To Change This.

And What I Was Feeling Was The Wonder Of Being More Than Me, Of Being More Than Mere Here And Now Allowed I Had Become A Shining Star, A Burning Nova Exploded With Love Flying Through An Endlessly Expanding Universe Away From The Me That Was Toward A Me That Is Beyond Understanding.

My Life Is Not Packaged, Not Tidy. There Are Leftover Strands And Jagged Edges That Cut Even My Friends.
