The latest sociological acronym is "Tired" - the Thirty-something Independent Radical Educated Dropout.
"Tell me, what is it you plan to do - with your one wild and precious life?"
The Summer Day, Mary Oliver
"Children suffer the world that adults create for them and try their best to adapt to it; in time, usually, they will replicate it."
The Elemetary Particles, Michel Houellebecq, 1998
Have I exhausted all modern society has to offer - a year early at 29? Is it now time to change the world as previously envisaged? Enlightenment may be a pre-requisite. And these North American zen groups are either too scared, cliquey.... or there are too many stoners and looneys around this continent to warrant any form of trust in a stranger. I'll need to 'explore/meditate' back home in the EU, where the vibe is akin to the openness and friendliness of my second home, Australia. ( I hope ;)
