The next decade....what's in store?

A friend sent me this

Came across this passage in the novel that I was reading that I thought I
might share with you.

"I was forty-nine, I had plenty of money. I had everything of everything
except the column of fire inside me that was ignited by sexual passion,
which had smiked and blazed through my life, scatering cinders and ashes,
since I was seventeen.

I was afraid of who I was without it. And this is what they want me to
transcend in exchange for yoga, multi-vitamins, homeopathy, acupuncture,
REiki, meditation, peace of mnd and even Nirvana?

I might as well be dead."

My response to her was this.

"I will be forty-nine with NO money, and hopefully some column of fire.
Actually, I don't so much miss that part of my existing life. Cricket
fills up that column."

So take away cricket from me and I'd have to go find a column of fire ignited by sexual passion.
