When people pry about my age - wanting to know just how old am I - TopicsExpress



          

When people pry about my age - wanting to know just how old am I anyway? Acting like I must be ashamed, cuz I dont answer - Are you kidding me? To be alive is a glorious thing! Ill never get too old to act too young. Ill always remain playful with an active imagination - as long as I have the physical health to sustain me (incidentally, that has been a challenge since my teens). But in my mind, ohhhh I believe! I believe! In magic. We are born able to sing to birds and read the clouds and see our destiny in grains of sand. But then we get the magic educated right out of our souls. We get it churched out, spanked out, washed out, and combed out. We get put on the straight and narrow and told to be responsible. Told to act our age. Told to grow up, for God’s sake. And you know why we were told that? Because the people doing the telling were afraid of our wildness and youth, and because the magic we knew made them ashamed and sad of what they’d allowed to wither in themselves. ― Robert McCammon, Boys Life
