I have done many things that make me feel at one with the universe. I do yoga and danced with Jerry G. I have run a marathon and wept in the Musee d'Orsay day after day staring into heaven's masterpieces. On my first trip to de efe in the seventh grade I saw what real poverty looked like and could not abide our excess. I gave every penny away on the first day to mothers sitting on cathedral steps with dirty, scared, hungry children at their feet. And mere words cannot describe the magic I feel when my fingers hit the dirt in my organic heirloom micro farm either. I'm lost in another world like when I was sitting backwards in a station wagon circa '77 reading Tolkien for the first time. Time turns elastic like it does when I'm reading a Philipp Meyer novel so my words cannot do it justice. Just read it.
