It is also within my head, and in my dreams, and in my slow experiences. I am in no hurry; I have no "bucket list" because I do realize my time is numbered. I demand nothing of life nowadays except the opportunity to contribute -- to learn -- and maybe to pass some of those experiences "on" to others in some way.
In the past I have been a teacher and a learner. I will continue to do both those things, but in new ways, in new and odd positions. I the near future I plan to be what Aristotle might call an "experiencer" -- a "doer" -- a "taster." I cannot do everything; I new could. But I can do what I do with deep understanding, grace, and detailed observation.
I can be an Aristotle, a Jean-Paul Sartre, a Jacques Maritain! I know these men through their work; and perhaps people will someday know me through mine.
