Don't need credit cards or a driver's license. Don't need a car. Feet, bicycle, buses and trains. Like we said in the sixties, "If it won't fit in the bus..." It takes doing, though, this giving up of things and ideas. Maybe it comes with age. Everything gets simpler when you're older. The passion leaks out and things become clear, again, just as it was when we were kids. Ride your bike, catch raindrops on your tongue, laugh at the crows, marvel at the sunset. Life is Grand.
