Good morning, I’m here to talk to you
today about the illusion of safety
by which I mean safety, do you know
how lucky you are to be subject
to gravity, if we didn’t, why, how horrific
that would be, we’d have to buy
individual anchors for ourselves and
especially for the children,
there could be family-sized anchors, for
bundling you and your loved
ones, that would be one way to certify
love, with cables and straps
and carabiners, every second that goes
by, you are one second closer
to nothing, no, I mean that in a good way,
safety’s overrated, what I would
recommend is use what you know and
what you want, too, and one day
you will look back at something at say
Wow, that was a very hard time,
and then you will think about another
time, and say, That was me at
my happiest, and no matter what, you will
have thought and said those things.
Anchors make poor accessories, no matter how you slice it! Congratulations on your book!
