Ptarmigan are a delicious bird, by the way. <br /><br />I'll offer a slightly different view on the rest: sometimes what we want to do, perhaps passionately, is something that puts us in a slot, a niche. Mate to someone you love, parent to kids you love. And you sacrifice time from your life, years, to do this. At some point you know if this is good or not, if it makes you happy. <br /><br />I've been one of the luck ones, my life while sometimes constrained, has been one I'd live over. No, I didn't go on a milk run from La Paz to Tahiti, and I didn't fish the sea run browns of Patagonia. But I have three grown kids who love me. And I have colleagues who think I was good. <br />I hear Old Blue Eyes singing that song and I identify with it too.

It's a sad social construct that so many of us get pigeonholed by what we do for money, when, in fact, it's not always the end all and be all of existence. Being bound by the social construct of reality is, to mind, not only a form of slavery, but slow death.<br /><br />Sometimes, I think I secretly hope I'm planting the seeds of subversiveness and seeking one's own bliss and freedom when I purge out these posts...;)Robbie Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708885869170287258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986189487671516031.post-51959474756945109762014-08-20T11:05:49.709-06:002014-08-20T11:05:49.709-06:00Kudos to you for doing whatever you fucking well l...Kudos to you for doing whatever you fucking well like. I think we all secretly want to do that deep down, but we find ourselves bound by societal norms that have been bred into our way of thinking.
