"I
wake up thinking: Today
I’ll learn to tap dance and play the trumpet. To watercolor and
make websites. Tomorrow I’ll create a calendar empire. I’ll be
taught how to frame a house and then build one, and then learn to
photograph it in every type of light. I’ll speak Spanish and Hindi
and Khmer. Then work at the UN as a translator. I’ll make everybody
spring rolls and then teach them all about economics. I’ll learn
about economics! I will have the answer to every question that exists
about that weird swirling mass of garbage in the Pacific and then
design a pack of greeting cards to wrap in twine and give to a
stranger on Earth Day."
