M.E.M.

Wild and Precious

\"I don\'t want to survive.

I want to live.\"

This was said by Captain B. McCrea

in Pixar\'s 2008 film Wall-E.

 

The people live a blissfully ignorant, utopian life.

Look closely and you will not see a utopia,

but a ship full of people who\'ve forgotten

how to live.

 

They have no concept of family, love,

a true friendly connection, or Earth.

These couch potatos--

Literal couch

po-ta-tos! Are not living.

They are just surviving.

 

So.

What do I plan to do

with my one wild and precious life?

 

I plan to live.

I plan to dance under the stars

like Wall-E and Eve.

I plan to go to infinity and beyond

with my best friends.

And just keep swimming with my family.

And use my hearts fire whenever I speak.

 

I plan to discover, create, feel, sense

life for a long

as the universe will let me.
