Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 10, 2015
Transcript:
Goat: How old are you, Rat? Rat: In my big space years. Goat; What's that s'pose to mean? Rat: When you're really young, they put you in a tiny space called a bassinet. And when you die, they put you in a tiny space called a casket. And in between are the big space years. Goat: Well, that's a pleasant thought. Rat: Enjoy the space while you can!!

I feel like I’m spending the majority of my time between cradle and grave trapped between 4 white walls from which there is no escape. It’s like a prison of my own making. I need to get out more, but there’s no money. And I don’t know how to get more without finding myself in a prison of someone else’s making.

Rat and Baba Ram Dass seem to be on the same page, as it were. “Enjoy the space while you can” = “Be Here Now”
