  BigWillie:

  That was such a great post, I thoroughly enjoyed it and totally identified with it.

  I had a drama director one time say to me: "If you lose your wonder of the world, you have lost everything: your ability to act, and your ability to love. Your life will be an endless quest for money to pay your rent, your newspaper subscription, and life will be nothing to you until you die, but a quest for money and identification." That really struck a big chord with me.

  Because of that drama director, I have always tried to retain my ability to see life through new eyes, and in different ways. I hope you have found that, too. It was hard....

  Congrats on the self-discovery. All of us are taking different paths leading to the same destination...I enjoyed your post.

  The subject line of the post made me think of this song by Incubus. I often play it when I have one of those deeply reflective moments. Enjoy, (or not)

  You saw me lost in treading water
  I looked pathetic and as helpless as a stinger without a bee
  But underneath my presentation. Yeah
  I knew the walls were coming down
  And the stones that fell were aiming away from me

  Hey what would it mean to you?
  To know that it’ll come back around again
  Hey whatever it means to you
  Know that everything moves in circles

  I saw you standing in my headlights Blink blink blink
  I thought I’d run you down for the weight you left on me
  But then I pressed rewind, reversed and drove away
  And see you, disappear in my rearview
  brought to me the word reciprocity

  Hey what would it mean to you?
  To know that it’ll come back around again
  Hey whatever it means to you
  Know that everything moves in circles

  Round and round we go
  We could know when it ends so well
  We fall on and we fall off
  Existential carousel

  Hey what would it mean to you?
  To know that it’ll come back around again
  Hey whatever it means to you
  Know that everything moves in circles
  Everything moves in circles..

  Round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round!!!

  "Sweat"

  I'm sweating,
  and breathing
  and staring and thinking
  and sinking
  deeper.
  It's almost like I'm swimming.
  
  The sun is burning hot again
  on the hunter
  and the fisherman,
  and he's trying to remember when,
  but it makes him dizzy.
  
  Seems like I've been here before.
  Seems so familiar.
  Seems like I'm slipping
  into a dream within a dream.
  
  Must be the way you whisper.
  
  The sun is setting cool again.
  I'm the thinker
  and the fisherman
  and I'm trying to remember when
  but it makes me dizzy.

  Seems like I'm slipping

  It's the way you whisper.
  It drags me under
  and takes me home.
