From Jen Lemen
the thing is no one really needs to only follow anymore. at least not in the way we’re used to thinking about it. we just need to hang around and not be considered a nuisance. there’s really no space for that in this world. especially if you’ve lost the ability to conceal that you’re difficult, too often crabby, aimless and desperate to please. so if you can find any place at all to be that, to do that, to have your mind returned to you so that you can think for a change, and about anyone else but yourself….well, then my friend, you are in fine shape indeed and god bless the man or woman who didn’t mind you trailing along wherever they wandered on their own journey while you sorted it all out. call them whatever you will…a cultivator, a sage, a savior, a pastor, a friend…without that kind of kindness we’d all be lost causes, soul sick and of no earthly good.
