Friend Randy and I were talking today, and as the conversation briefly touched upon our ages (early thirties) and our places in this world (?), I was reminded of something (you regular readers will be ready for this) that the Canadian man of letters, Robertson Davies, once said.
[The age of about thirty-five] is a very common turning point that millions of people encounter, when you just have to realize that you’ve found out what you do and how you do it, and what you think the world can give you, and you’ve established your way of living, and you probably have children. You know roughly whether you’re going to be rich or poor or in between. Then you’ve got to find out what you’re really going to do - what you’re going to make out of all that. Are you going to be just a kind of walking monument to a job, or are you going to have some kind of really significant inner life of your own? Because just the external things - the job, the mate, the children, the house, the this, the that - do not really fill the place inside.
