interesting discussions.
pat. showed him stuff from my sketchbook. he suggested places to
visit. i played dumb. told me about philadelphia. newcomers guide.
asked questions. nodded my head. interesting discussions. you dont own
anything. nothing but your own time. everything you own existed before
you owned it. and everything will continue to exist long after you
cease to own it. people are more caretakers of things. they watch over
them while they are in their possession. when they are given or thrown
or taken away. then the responsibility is lifted. the object continues
though. but you own your time. it started existing when you did. it
stays with you your whole life. it dies with you. your time is the
only thing you truly own. it is your responsibility. you make what you
make of it.
an education. he supposes one owns an education. because you cant give
that to anyone. but truly it was given to you by other people. like
your thoughts. parents. friends. teachers. strangers. tv. radio.
books. thoughts constantly modified. added to by others. he is not
even sure if he owns his own thoughts. after all. they were others'
thoughts before his. like an education. it was just passed on.
