January 28
This journey will never be perfect, will never give me endless relaxation, will never be that perpetual vacation spoken of by optimists, and will never grant me the one deepest wish--at least, not in the way that I want.
What is my one deepest wish. If one day I awoke to a new world--if everything was new and fresh and unknown--and the only two things I had were the mind I had before and a million dollars, what would I do and where would I go?
The truth is, I would probably spend one day on a solitaire beach pondering, the next day setting out to travel the world to visit the sights and sounds I always wanted to, but after that I would miss the life I had before and would try to go back but wouldn't be able to.
That, my friend, would be the saddest turning point of my life. Starting from scratch means starting afresh and anew, and will rid me of the un-pleasantries, but also of the things that mattered most.
Having said that, my one deepest wish is to keep what I have and to have time to enjoy it.
