Children know something most people have forgotten. Children possess a fascination with everyday existence that is very special and would be very helpful to adults if they could learn to understand and respect it. I am now 28 years old on the outside and nearly 12 years old on the inside. I always want to stay 12 years old on the inside.*
Keith Haring

The philosopher Hannah Arendt argued that humans have three ways to spend their time. The labour required to feed ourselves and survive. The work of doing a craft that we are proud of. And the action of organisation and possibility.**
Seth Godin

It was Anne Lamott who suggested that
we carry all of our ages inside of us;
I will soon be 66 years old on the outside and
I am very aware that I must choose carefully
the age I want to be on the inside –
I don’t only want to spend my time in
one way.
