- Transcription
- Finishes meditation + a way on Facebook night a way. It was on the way to Boney + Cheryl's many years ago. Joel was 19 baby. So what - 27 a 28 years ago? Kelly was. Wondered on it. I wanted out. The holidays have always been a mixed bag - unrealistic aspirations, a search for meaning and the reality of human beings - their largesse, their weaknesses, their pathos, their addictions. Part of me just wants it all.
