Read it Like a Poem

You can "read" life like it's a long, rambling non-fiction book. One damn fact after another. Or you can "read" life like it's a rambling book of fiction.  Facts and fabrications are in some grand, elegant dance.

Or maybe best of all, you can "read" life like it's one long, rambling poem.  There are facts and non-facts, but everything is a signifier, or a symbol or a "metaphor," for something else. And you and your life and all the things in it are part of this poetic mosaic.

And everything is itself, and something else. And everything is connected. And everything has multiple meanings. And you can immerse yourself in this poetic mind-scape and always be enchanted, and amazed.  Yeah, that's the ticket!
