Believe me when I tell you . . .

I am lost, and you are, too. If you don't know that you are lost, then I am a little less lost than you, for at least I know that I do not know where I am, whereas you persist in striding confidently from you-know-not-where into you-know-not-what.

It is only when we recognize our essential lostness that we come to see that much finding is shamming, most security is trickery, for there is no shame in not knowing, only shame in falsity.

I stand convicted of mediocrity and half-measures. I stand convicted of never have sold my soul for any one thing. I bear the guilt of never giving myself wholly to one woman, one idea, one project, one pursuit without in my mind if not in my body following a thousand other potentialities. I stand eternally strung between the many blazing beauties before my eyes, each within reach and each calling to me to approach and here be great and I cannot choose any one even as the inconsequentiality of my life as I live it bears down on me with a weight that bores right through me.

To be honest, I'd say you're looking at this the wrong way. No, wait. Wrong is too strong. I mean, you can look at this thing from another direction and discover all that you're doing is fine. And if it isn't fine, at least it's interesting. And maybe it's both.
