mad to live

February 12, 2008 in Missional Living, borrowed wisdom, motivations, the journey

I love cards.  :o)  A while back Jessica sent me one that now sits on my desk.  It says:

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars…”   ~ Jack Kerouac

Now, I’m not sure I want to explode like a spider across the stars… weird mental picture there!  BUT, being mad to live…. I’ll take that!

Let’s live madly!  Ready and GO!  More on the GOing part in the post to follow…
