One thing I'm grateful for: I feel like at birth most people were handed the keys to a car. Some got sports cars, some got hybrids, some got minivans and some got race cars. But I was handed the keys to a spaceship. Turns out a spaceship is harder to drive than a car, and it's one hell of a frightening ride. But now that I'm getting the hang of it, I can go to some pretty cool places.

One thing I learned today: "What does friendship mean? Well, I think it consists of at least two things: one is being open to someone and being close to someone. Those are both unnatural because in the state of nature if you are open to someone you shouldn't be close to them and if you are close to someone you shouldn't be open to them. So it's an unnatural state. What we want in our work is to become open to each other and close to each other, near each other psychologically and at the same time open to each other psychologically. And that is very difficult to be in, to keep in I mean to be really in. To be near and open would put a lot of what I think into psychotherapy." -Les Havens

One thing I'm grateful for: Poles.

I want to go to the edge of the darkness and peer in. From deep within there is a glowing green and red light, barely visible in a cavernous wall of black. I am edging away from my peers. I know what a slippery slope it is, but it is too intoxicating to avoid. I want to feel special. I want to feel engulfed. I want to feel I have withstood trials few men can. He asks me if I am turning the dial, and I reply that I am.

“Why?”

“Because it feels like it’s time to.”
