Self-Portrait. Reflections On The New Bedlam Farm

by Jon Katz
Reflections on New Bedlam Farm

I am a student of Thomas Merton, Hannah Arendt, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Henry David Thoreau. Steve Jobs in a very different way, all five influenced my life in important and very different ways. Live a life of self-determination. Solve your own problems. Make your own choices. Stay on the path of a meaningful life, not one lived in fear, submission or regret.

A meaningful life is difficult, as is any life. When I need to respect myself, gather myself I often look through windows, especially when there are windows on the other side of the room. I see these windows as life, as reflections of life, and I see they are also reflections of me, mirrored in my new home. I was wide-eyed, glued to the window, saw my life there, and so much else.
