I want to say or do something to make the entire planet sigh deeply. I want to cause each person to stop moving, to look up with an intent and sincere gaze, to ferociously roar with applause and delicious excitement. I want to be so flooded with perfect passion that it forces others to be hypnotized in a wild upheaval. I want a standing ovation. I want people to fall to knees, awed and layered with goose bumps. I want to bring the very trees down with my shocking exuberance.

But instead, I will sink through life, accepting wrinkles and crumbling with defeat. I will disregard dreams, I will shake my head at ambitions. I will become like every other average monster- too afraid of risk to celebrate a triumphant blaze of delirious glory.

I will embrace mundanity, destroy any piece of destiny that might have been-too terrified of chance to move one filthy foot forward.

We all start out knowing magic. We are born with whirlwinds, forest fires, and comets inside us. We are born able to sing to birds and read the clouds and see our destiny in grains of sand. But then we get it 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 path 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.

Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra share their respective recipes for Hamburgers.
