The new job went surprisingly well. One thing that I realized from it is that I need to be involved in art. The primary job that I have was never intended to be a long term thing. When the cancer scare occurred, there was this clarity of purpose...somehow it faded into the background as the little crises of life took over and began to assume the disguise of being what life was all about.

Until you.

And now...now I have to pick up the threads of life and make them into something worthwhile, something with more purpose than the next paycheck or surviving past this month's bills and responsibilities.
