Letting go of necessity
Seattle, WA
April 13, 1997
In responding to a blog post here I was reminded that turning 40 marked an end to worrying about having to do anything in particular with my life. I chose this to be the case by fiat, because it was clear that trying to decide what to 'do' was eating up my life. Almost as soon as I liberated myself from the notion of having to 'be' anything, i found the most fundamental questions about metaphysics, morality, and spirituality seemed to resolve themselves in an indescribably simple chord. I've been rather giddy about it ever since.
