SNEAK PEEK

   Sighing, he stared at the bubbles in his glass for a few minutes.
He looked into her brilliant blue eyes. "I guess I just don't want to let go," he admitted.
   She smiled. "It's not as though you'd be letting go of something you couldn't have any time you wanted it."
   "Yes, but I'm afraid that once I let go of these physical pleasures and toys it would be like giving up childhood. I won't be able to come back to it without feeling immaturely out of place, childish."

   "It's irresponsible."
   "It's also part of learning. No matter how many times you feel you want to play with blocks, or shoot cap pistols, or climb trees, you don't fully tire of them until you're ready to move on to a higher level."
   He complained, "I never properly learned how to live the life I had on Earth. How can I move on to such things as building a galaxy and running it if I never understood how to carry on a conversation at a cocktail party?"
   She said, "You learned something every time you tried, even if it was only to confirm that you couldn't enjoy shallow thinking and petty, materialistic motivations."
