A Moveable Feast

Imagine it: a moveable feast, a glorious cacophony of luxuries, an indulgent array of sumptuous food, thrilling company, pleasant chatter, laughter, and heady music. I want a moveable feast.

There is a yearning for 'the good-life', full of art and literature, peppered with beautiful sights, endless travels to exotic places, discovery of treasures unknown and unseen, a flight of imagination, an abundant and extravagant experience of life.

A smattering of men of letters, a company of individuals who think and think differently and highly of things not frequented by our average man. A discussion on truth, good and evil, a questioning of reality, a want for something larger than life, across from the mere material, a quest for knowledge of self and the world and beyond.

A recital of poems. A glimpse of the mad genius. A shoulder rubbing with the intellects and minds of this age and earlier. A meeting with Hitler? An audience with Victoria. An interview with Gandhi. A lunch tete e tete with Orhan Pamuk and Dorris Lessing. A conversation with Einstein, Newton and Kepler? Such is moveable feast! that nurtures the body and heartens the soul. Tea with Shakespeare and dinner with Shelly!

Travels to time past, and times future! Voyages on the Beagle and trysts on the Atlantis, a view of Cleopatrian Egypt and Charlemagne's Europe, a stop in 10th century Baghdad and then a turn back into Persepolis of Cyrus and Xerxes. A semester in Plato's Academy? and some time with Socrates himself. To witness the parting of the Red Sea and the Noah's Ark? To live through the Pompeian explosion! I want a vast trek through history and a jump start visit to 2075? What will humans look like in a million years? will evolution take its course? and will we be the monkeys of the future? the savage precursor of our future, advanced and more agile, race?

How about a trip to the lost world of dinosaurs and dodos, a plunge into the ice-age all warm in 21st century clothes, a trip through Tigris and Euphrates in Sumeria. There is so much to see and so much to learn...being able to read 100 books a week and then remembering them! Writing exquisite novels and poems. That is my moveable feast.
