When I was a kid I used to dream about living in a van. That seems like a silly thing to wish for. I mean, it doesn't take much to achieve. I am almost 30. I don't live in a van. I still have dreams about many things. And occasionally I dream of being a hobo, a vagabond, a man without roots. The truth is, no matter how many novels I read, I will always have roots. I can dream of being a doctor or a fireman but I will never be the nomad I thought I might end up being when all else failed. Because failure is not the means that brings us to our ends. We end up where we came from.
