The Journey Begins
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with the single step,” said Lao Tzu.
But he’s dead.
This journey ahead frightens me to my core. Twisting crags, breakneck switchbacks and a legion of thorns and brambles lay on the path. I shudder at every letter as a riot of voices shout down the one that matters most.
The choice is simple. Don’t walk. Then endure the choking frustration of a vocation denied. Walk. Then experience the joy, sorrow and glory of every comedic, tragic and transcendent step and sing it anew.
“Decision made. Whatever happens, happens.”
I step out!
