I don't worry about my legacy. A friend, unhappy about the way his art gets treated where he lives, as opposed to where he grew up and where he vacations, complained that if he died tomorrow, nobody in the area he's lived for thirty years would even notice.

I think, so what?

He moved to a conservative part of the country because he could get a great plot of rural land with a beautiful house, and he's been complaining about it ever since. He would move but for his family, that won't.

That's why his current situation is unhappy where he lives. He is uncompromising, and doesn't see that expecting others to meet his expectations isn't going to make him any happier.

He has wonderful friends nearby, but not conveniently near by. He rarely visits them.

And he's worried about what is going to happen after he dies? To quote Bob Marley (and paraphrase a million other writers: "If you know what life is worth, you will look for yours on Earth."

That's my plan. It is completely in harmony with my belief about time (which is that all time is happening Now - our idea of the passage of time is just that: Our idea). There is only Now.

Diet Comment
I felt I had to finish the jar of peanut butter I bought this past weekend, rather than throw it away. I think it played a big part in my weight-gain over the weekend, but it also awakened some cravings, and I had to get it out of the house, and there were these cravings, and I totally caved. I ate very little, calorie-wise, after this cheat, and now I feel better about the whole thing!
