A Bowl of Words
I think the first words I will put in my bowl are the beginning lyrics to the Tears for Fears song "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." Remember that band from the 1980's? Today when I was driving home with my bowl, I heard this song on the radio. It's one of those songs that I turn up full blast whenever I hear it. It has become "mine" because it always conjures up the memory of a pivotal moment in my life. I listened to it while packing for my first solo trip to Europe. I was 30 years old, and the opening line "Welcome to your life. There's no turning back..." hit me profoundly. Those were the kinds of words that meant a lot to me when I was 30 and scared to death about what life might bring me.
See, the bowl is working already.
