My future

“To be left alone on the tightrope of youthful unknowing
is to experience the excruciating beauty of full freedom
and the threat of eternal indecision.”

Maya Angelou diagnosed my condition pretty accurately on page 271 of I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings.

  1. Beautiful book, intriguing quote.

    Although, years ago, people made a career decision and pretty much gave their life over to it. Today, there is always the possibility to reinvent oneself, to continue to grow intelectually. Or is that only an option for the educated and affluent?

    The world will benefit from whatever someone with your love and passion and goodness chooses to do.

    Sorry to go on...I'm up way past my bedtime!

    Que descanses con los angelitos.
