A Suspended Blue Ocean
The sky
is a suspended blue ocean
the stars are the fish
that swim.
The planets are the white whales,
I sometimes hitch a ride on,
And the sun and all light
have forever fused themselves
into my heart and upon
my skin
there is only one rule
on this wild playground,
Earth
for every sign I have ever seen
reads the same.
They all say,
“Have fun, my dear;
my dear, have fun
in this divine
wonderful game.”
Tonight is
Barbara Walters’ final 10 Most Fascinating People broadcast. It got me thinking
about exactly what kind of life’s work you must pursue to achieve such
notoriety. Some followed their passions (Simon Cowell, Maya Angelou), believed
in themselves (Steve Jobs, J.K. Rowling), and legitimately changed the world
(Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa). Others (Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Tom
Cruise, Kanye West) simply ended up with promising entertainment years or
scandalous drama. So what is the secret? Maybe it really is just this: “Have
fun, my dear; my dear, have fun in this divine wonderful game.”
