Question
People always ask me:
"What do you plan to do?"
"You need a job, something
to do."
But what if I don't want a job,
but instead I wanted
to be, not do.
So I said "I'd like to
be a book, filled with
wonder and words."
"A book?" they ask.
"Yes.
Books are filled with
darkness and light,
wonder and delight."
Books are not only beautiful,
but also helpers.
I've learned most of
what I know
from written words.
Wouldn't it be nice
to be made of
some?
The question isn't "What
do you want to do?"
It's
"What do you want
to be."
