No Safety

“The difference between diving into an ocean of infinite possibility or dying blown to bits by a jealous wind on the beach of desire rests in the fact that once in that ocean, we trade one kind of numb, trance-like, eternal state of youth for another, exchanging being a child in our parents little pool for a homogenized life of art pursued but never realized or fulfilled. In the ocean of every possibility, we follow our heart’s desire but never make anything distinct or particular. We begin to do everything and what everybody else does, maybe better or worse, but never our own.”

~The Disobedience of the Daughter of The Sun, Martin Prechtel
