Much ado about nothing


I always desperately wanted to be gay. Freddie Mercury optimized glorious humanity to me. Then Prince and David Bowie abated my disappointment in my nature, and it was okay to be straight … with a little twist.

As I grow up, I feel a desperate need to remember what drove me to excess … what inspired me to greatness. As the birth of my daughter approaches, I feel the need to try harder … to be larger than life … to be majestic.

I think you already are larger than life.

You will get to where you need to be, when you need to be there. The Universe has a funny way of working things out like that.

The child comes as a fire, burning away the weak parts of myself, hardening what was great - testing it - tempering and proving it. Its the lack of sleep the swelling of love and devotion that comes from places inside that I was not familiar with. A child is a trauma to the parents, a wonderfully voluntary decision always made in ignorance. I often wonder if waiting on a child is like a man in a foxhole waiting to be tested by war, to find out something of himself that can only be known under great stress.
