I Confess. If The Law

My Life Is A Stairway To Heaven, Not A 'decline Into Decrepitude.

Rituals Are Important. I Get Up. I Take The Dogs On A Walk Around To The Front And Then I Pick Up The Papers. Then I Walk Around To The Front Door, Then Me And The Two Dogs Come In The House And I Give Them Treats. I Make Coffee. It's The Regularity Of These Kinds Of Rituals That I Find Deeply Satisfying.

So I Grew Up Feeling That I Wasn't Good Enough, And That No-one Would Love Me Unless I Was Perfect. But No-one's Perfect, We're Not Meant To Be Perfect. We're Meant To Be Complete. But It's Hard To Be Complete If You're Trying To Be Perfect, So You Kind Of Become Disembodied. And I Spent A Lot Of My Life That Way.""and If You Don't Own Your Strength... Women Like Me Tend To Always Look Over Their Shoulder To See Who... "who's The Leader? Who's The Smart One?" Never Thinking It Might Be Me. Took A Long Time For Me To Get Over That.

I Never Would've Imagined In The First Part Of My Life That I Could've Stood Up And Said Anything. The War In Vietnam Changed Me. I Was So Angry. Some Of My Speeches Probably Weren't Well Considered.

Stay Curious, Keep Learning And Keep Growing. And Always Strive To Be More Interested Than Interesting.
