chocolate and Beer

it still is surprising meeting new people.
what's more surprising? knowing new things from old people
what's more more surprising? creating new links with old things from old people

like chocolate and beer. right rj?

right. and i share something from ayn rand's introduction to the fountainhead's 25th anniversary edition:

...the best of mankind's youth start out in life [with a view].
It is not even a view, for most of them, but a foggy, groping, undefined sense made of raw pain and incommunicable happiness. It is a sense of enormous expectation, the sense that one's life is important, that great achievements are within one's capacity, and that great things lie ahead.

sums up this day very well. happy? totally. painful? at times. great? great.
hers is a very scary philosophy but one which we can all learn something from.

those italicized are real scary too. i mean for someone to articulate what you think and feel and believe in today 38 years ago can be real scary. at least for me

it's like that other fear of mine where i might be just rationalizing things too much.
i can never fully know. or at least fully tell
