There Are Bugs And There Are The

My Parents Used To Park Us Kids At The Public Library In Downtown Honolulu Every Saturday. They'd Leave Us There At 8 A.m. And Pick Us Up At 4 P.m. - So Between Those Hours, You'd Better Find Something To Do! I Sat Upstairs In The Picture Room And Went Through Opera, Ballet, And Theater Books. I Loved The Photographs Of People Wearing Elaborate Makeup And Costumes - They Really Pulled At Me Inside. I Was In That Library Every Week For Years, Until I Was About 13. I Had A Rich Interior Life, Because I Didn't Have Much Of A Social Life.

Through Books And Photographs, I Saw A World That Was Not My Own - And I Realized That There Was Another World. That's Why I'm Concerned About Education, Because It Helps Our Children See Other Worlds.

From The Age Of 14 Until I Was 50, I Just Got On A Treadmill And Ran. I Never Stopped To Assess What I Was Doing Or To Pat Myself On The Back.

When I Finally Did Stop And Look At My Life, I Realized That I Had Done What I'd Set Out To Do. In My Pitiful Little Way, I Had Climbed The Mountain I Had Chosen. And There I Was, On Top.
