My life has been the polar opposite of safe, but I am proud of it and so is my son, and that is good enough for me. I would do it all over again without changing the beat, although I have never recommended it to others. That would be cruel and irresponsible and wrong, I think, and I am none of those things.

Too-lateness, I realized, has nothing to do with age. Itβs a relation of self to the moment. Or not, depending on the person and the moment. Perhaps there even comes a time when itβs no longer too late for anything. Perhaps, even, most times are too early for most things, and most of life has to go by before itβs time for almost anything and too late for almost nothing. Nothing to lose, the present moment to gain, the integration with long-delayed Now.
