Three Questions

It came to me in a tumultuous dream that left me writhing and anxious until I woke in a sweat and confused. It was the perfect way to simplify my life, which of late has a tendency to become crowded, demanding, and overwhelming, not enough time for what’s important. It was the answer I needed but maybe not the one you wanted. There were just three questions: What don’t I need, what do I need and, most importantly, what do I want.

My answer: I don’t need three dogs. I always need money. And I want you.
