"The road we walk is built with the stones that scar our feet." ~~~Tamoe Gozen in Riverworld
Heard this in the movie "Riverworld" as being said by a nun near Kyoto. I searched for the author and couldn't find one. It's a good quote, though, and makes you think about where you've been and where you're headed; I have no idea. Presently, my feet are set upon a path of independence from the rat race. I figured if I was responsible for myself and my livelihood then I should take on that responsibility fully. I've begun telling people that I'm self-employed, a small business owner. I am sole proprietor of my business and I make pretty things out of stained glass and other bits and pieces of the world around me. On Monday, I move my small inventory of finished handmade, custom artglass into a booth space I've leased. I have no idea how it's going to work out but I'm tired of my future and my life depending on others. This is just the beginning and I look forward to the future for the first time in a very long time.
