To follow up on my postings re: Hitchhiker's Guide. It is surprising how relevant this tome still is. Just recently, a coworker reminded everyone that it was "Towel Day" (this is celebrated more commonly than people imagine) and especially intriguingly, a few months ago I met a skydiver who quoted to me: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy says,"There is an art to flying, or rather a knack. Its knack lies in learning to throw yourself at the ground and miss." Then this person said to me, "I do that." Which I think was one of the coolest, most concise things I have ever heard. It was hard for me to find a picture for this, as the concept is unsettling to me which is why I admire this person for being able to live it (living something described in a book, effortlessly, truly, deeply - and regularly! Or, if you like, living something for which the perfect description existed or exists). I finally settled on a photo called "Fear and Pleasure."
