Day 66: Jesse Jackson
What do you do for a living?
I’m a musician and a songwriter
What do you do to feel alive?
That’s a good question. I play music with other people and ride horses.
A lesson you learned from your mother:
To always be kind.
A lesson you learned from your father:
There’s so many good ones…To call ahead. To plan.
What’s the most beautiful thing you saw today?
That gong (in your living room)
What’s one thing you wouldn’t want anyone to take away from you?
I don’t know how to narrow that down to one thing…my abilities – choices – my senses.
What’s a thought you would like to never have again?
“I’m going to do this myself.”
If you could become an inanimate object what would it be?
I’d be an armoire
When do you feel most loved?
The last time I felt loved was the last time I allowed myself to feel loved.
If your life were to end tomorrow what would be left undone?
My life would be “undone” – not necessarily things or projects or relationships – my existence is what will end. I’m also tempted to say nothing because I had a life. I was born. I experienced life and if my life were over then, nothing. My life would be complete. I do want to sky dive though.
What global issue would you take on if you didn’t have to worry about how?
I’d rather leave that to people who do that kind of thing. I don’t know if I would want that responsibility.
What’s the scariest thing that ever happened to you?
I really can’t talk about that.
