Enlarging the Soul

Written fifteen years ago, Mr. Robbins’ remarks in Esquire Magazine are worth revisiting today.

You Gotta Have Soul
by Tom Robbins

Mental Bungee-jumping may not be your sport of choice, but there’s a cerebral ledge that sooner or later each of us has to leap off. One day, ready or not, we glance in a mirror, cuddle [...]
