If my soul went to college, the tuition would certainly be affordable. Who would know? I could remain anonymous. Should I stay in a dorm or off campus………..interesting. I don’t know what to major in, maybe humanness. What is it like to be human ! I already know what it’s like to be spiritual but really don’t know a lot about being human. Facing life situations on life’s terms everyday. Being able to make decisions without any handbook. What road to take, who to marry, maybe not marry at all. Try so called alternative sex, have children, buy a house, live in a city, a farm or a condo………..Eat bacon or Tofu, what does caffeine really do for me and why did God, or whoever that higher power is, create it anyway. Why is everything my human body crave bad for me? Why are my arteries clogging even though I am a vegetarian, I need human answers, I need to know how to experience life and me with skin. I need a course, or a manual or a cd, or a dvd, something to guide me in the art of being human and utilize this very little time I have on this planet called earth. I hope this college can give me the answers and if it doesn’t, well it didn’t cost me a dime…………..

Pat, Your piece makes me think of all the choices about marrying or not? where to live or who to live with or what to eat or drink or not and what we crave. Interesting to think about how arbitrary much of it is. Thanks.

Pat,
I loved your theme. Wouldn’t it be great to have a manual with all the answers?
