Dear World, The Passion Cycles of Life. An impromptu Bio for no real reason at all. The bookends of my life. Why dont you write one of your own? The highlights of your passion and your soul, not just the highlights of your achievements. Very cathartic to do this. When we leave the planet, this is what we take with us. On the right, me now, a month away from turning 60-years-old. On the left: 1976, 21-years-old, I was a senior at Bard College in Annandale NY, one of the most progressive liberal arts colleges ever and still is. I was a Literature and Writing major. My Senior Project: a novel titled Glass Birds. A few months after Bard, I took a one-way cheap flight over the Atlantic, with $600, an old Olympia typewriter with no letter L, and some clothes. I lived in London and Paris for the next couple of years writing another unpublished novel, Blood Music, and living as passionately as humanly possible. Back to the USA in 1981, unwillingly, I took a conventional career path job (to see if I could be conventional) writing marketing brochures for a computer company. Twenty years later, apparently channeling some kind of business career spirits, and having been accidentally successful, I left a long career as a marketing agency senior executive and agency president in the technology industry. Armani suits, styled hair, BMW. Just made it up as I went along. Which is what I have done all my life - reinvent myself and use supernatural instincts. In 2010, after a long illness, the chronic kind, and after working for a couple of years as a counselor on a psych unit floor of a Childrens Hospital for at-risk children because I wanted to work with kids minds and souls, and with my two extraordinary red-haired daughters out in the world being glorious, my greatest achievements if you can say it like that, and four more unpublished novels (in fairness I stopped trying to publish years ago. I write because my imagination, emotions, psychology and dreams will die if I do not) ... it was finally time to step into my full spiritual self and purpose, and do what I am here to do: jasontaylormorgan/. Although a little more than that, I am still working with peoples minds and souls. Between these two photos, nearly 40 years of high voltage human life. In addition, like all of us - I have lived and died a million times. My body is a little beat up. My brain is a whole lot beat up. Because I woke up one morning and felt like driving - I spent four years (four years! in motion) ... 2010 - 2014 ... on a spiritual mystery ride all around the US. I have lived according to my Woodstock Generation progressive, open-minded, compassionate, spiritual principles. Of all things, perhaps, that is the most important to me - while experiencing all manner of success and failure, pleasure and pain, and evolving in so many ways over 40 years, I stayed true to my truth and my soul. And after those twenty years in the conventional world, it was tough, living well outside the lines is where I truly belong. And, at almost 60, I can so honestly say I am doing exactly what I was put on (came to) this earth to do. Exactly. What a gift. So there you have it - the bookends of my life. Why dont you write one of your own? The highlights of your passion and your soul, not just the highlights of your achievements. Very cathartic to do this. When we leave the planet, this is what we take with us. Magnificent flows to all ... Jason
