Douglas CouplandHere are some passing thoughts. Imagine looking up at the moon and seeing it burning. Imagine seeing the grocery storeโs checkout girl grow horns. Imagine growing younger instead of older. Imagine feeling more powerful and more capable of falling in love with life every new day instead of being scared and sick and not knowing whether to stay under a sheet or venture forth into the cold.
