I Wanted My Wild Things To Be

I Believe There Is No Part Of Our Lives, Our Adult As Well As Child Life, When We're Not Fantasizing, But We Prefer To Relegate Fantasy To Children, As Though It Were Some Tomfoolery Only Fit For The Immature Minds Of The Young. Children Do Live In Fantasy And Reality; They Move Back And Forth Very Easily In A Way We No Longer Remember How To Do.

What Is The Point Of It All? Not Leaving Legacies. But Being Ripe. Being Ripe.

I Think It Is Unnatural To Think That There Is Such A Thing As A Blue-sky, White-clouded Happy Childhood For Anybody. Childhood Is A Very, Very Tricky Business Of Surviving It. Because If One Thing Goes Wrong Or Anything Goes Wrong, And Usually Something Goes Wrong, Then You Are Compromised As A Human Being. You're Going To Trip Over That For A Good Part Of Your Life.

I Had Lost My Sister Recently, Too, Which Meant That My Whole Family Was Gone. I Was The Baby Of The Family. There Were Five Sendaks And There Were Five Wild Things, And Now There's Only One Sendak, And He's About To Bite The Dust, Too! Life, As I Said Before, Was Very Difficult At That Time And So It Was Natural That There Would Be A Change In The Look Of Things. Also, I Was Very Impressed With My Own Strength In Doing This Under The Circumstances In Which I Was Living.

I Think People Should Be Given A Test Much Like Driver's Tests As To Whether They're Capable Of Being Parents!
