Interview with a mystic, #2

Journalist (J): What’s important?

Mystic (M): As the movie says, “Get busy living, or get busy dying.”

(J): Do you feel you’ve lived your life based on that saying?

(M): Of course, I wouldn’t have said it if I didn’t live by it.

(J): Do you expect others to live by it?

(M): No, I realize it’s a pretty high watermark. If we can live by it sometimes, or get in the ballpark of it, that’s doing pretty good.

(J): But you do expect yourself to live by it?

(M): Absolutely!!!
