My Featured Blogger this week is JYP, a.k.a. Jewish Young Professional, whose pithy poetry and far-reaching prose never fail to engage me. She is honest and down-to-earth, even confessional–which is all-too-rare a quality in our world today. Read on and you’ll see what I mean!
Take your dreams, whatever they are, take them, and instead of mapping them onto a blueprint, instead of folding them into a thousand origami paper cranes or into a prayer tucked into the creases of the Western Wall, take your dreams, roll them up, set them on fire and smoke them. Get high inhaling and exhaling their fragrant ashes and laugh, laugh like it was a joke all along, laugh till you think it is funny, till you don’t notice that you have died, leaving the skeleton of what might have been.
love this

I didn’t expect that ending. 😳
