CHAPTER 12:
LEAD WITH YOUR CROTCH
In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s there
are few.
—Shunryu Suzuki; Japanese Zen monk, author, teacher also
lovingly known as the “Crooked Cucumber”
I know the big saying is “youth is wasted on the young,” but I think, in certain
respects anyway, we’ve really got it going on in our late teens and early twenties.
Aside from all the angst and drama and escorts home from the police, we’ve still
got our little kid-like ability to create “just because” still firmly intact, but we’ve
also got this newly-hatched adult ability to make big things happen in our lives.
Add to this the fact that we’re not yet jaded by a long list of failures, and are still
under the vague impression that death is something that happens to other people,
we, if you’re anything like me, leap into our lives when we’re young with an
idiotic, yet awesome, disregard for “what-if’s.”
