Mattered

"It was a time to become conscious, to give form and coherence to the mystery, 
and I had been a part of that. It was a gift. 
Life was raging all around me and every moment was magical. 
I loved all the people, dealing with all the contradictory impulses -
that's what I loved the most, 
connecting with the people. 
Looking back, 
that's all that really mattered."
