Answer: 42

by Answer: 42

Douglas Adams wrote that “The answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything is 42.” So upon turning 42, I decided to harness all of the innate wisdom that I must now possess and take stock of everything that I (now) know.Fully embracing the idea that I am already the answer, for the next 365 days I will attempt to get to the bottom of some essential questions. What will come of this? Perhaps nothing more than a commitment to a daily practice. All I know is that, by my own logic, I will no longer be at one with the answers when I turn 43, so catch me while you can.
