“There is always an enormous temptation in all of life,” writes Annie Dillard, “to diddle around making itsy-bitsy friends and meals and journeys for itsy-bitsy years on end … I won’t have it. The world is wider than that in all directions, more dangerous and bitter, more extravagant and bright.” Your assignment? Transcend whatever’s itsy-bitsy about your life. The alternative? Head toward the frontier and drum up experiences to thrill your heart and blow your mind.
