Read The Age of Reason.
In fact, read all the books that you can.
Plant a garden and grow things.
You never know when
You’ll need a subject of conversation.
You can always say to someone,
Once I planted a garden, and it grew things.
Take your time. Find an obsession,
Something that feels attached
To an indication of your soul,
Become passionate in knowing about it –
Get as close to the pure love of it as you can.
