I realized I'd been living outside myself for so long I'd almost become a walking vacancy.
I was still running a kind of circus act which had numerous, highly believable posters plastered all over the outside --
See the Spectacular Non-Drinking Person!
Watch How Movingly He Can Recite the Twelve Steps!
-- but which had nothing much going on inside the tent. I've been working hard to shut that circus down ever since with varying degrees of success.

Never become so heavenly that you're no earthly good.
We cannot change the directions of the wind, but we can adjust our sails. Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass. Have a beautiful day unless you plan otherwise. ... B-)
