[Image ID: a poster reading:

“Q. What’s the difference between a prisoner of war and a homeless person?

A. Under the Geneva Convention, a prisoner of war is entitled to food, shelter and medical care.”

Between the question and answer is a black and white photo of a police officer disturbing a homeless person with a baton. The homeless person is lying down on a bench.

The bottom of the poster reads “a public message from Guerrilla Girls - 532 LaGuardia PI. #237, NY 10012”. /End ID]

A few rare individuals refuse to live limited lives. They drive through tremendous amounts of pain—from rejections and failures to shorter moments of embarrassment and anxiety. They also handle the small, tedious pain required for personal discipline, forcing themselves to do things we all know we should do but don’t—like exercising, eating right, and staying organized. Because they avoid nothing, they can pursue their highest aspirations. They seem more alive than the rest of us.

We can hardly bear to look. The shadow may carry the best of the life we have not lived. Go into the basement, the attic, the refuse bin. Find gold there. Find an animal who has not been fed or watered. It is you!! This neglected, exiled animal, hungry for attention, is a part of your self.
