An Epiphany Before Noon

Have you ever been asked to answer this question: "If you could do anything other than what you are currently doing, what would it be?" I love that question! It's a little like the: "What would you do if you won the lottery?" question. It just so happens that I have an answer to the first question: If I could do anything, I would write Op-Ed pieces for some literary tome that appeals to the people that wear smart and yet beautiful shoes and own hybrid cars. The question asked nothing about what you would do that would earn money. I would love to be evolved enough that the money didn't matter. Oh, no really, keep my salary, I will just work for food and utilities and I will feel completely actualized. I am a little too materialistic for that. I love the idea of writing for a living. Composing prose on my lime green Apple notebook in a contemporary loft in Soho. I'd linger in Anarchist coffee shops, wear Cashmere Muu-Muu's and smoke clove cigarettes. My fantasy life is a beautiful place.
