Nice to see you’re keeping up the good word! I enjoyed “Doubt” and it seems we’re doing something similar on our blogs–writing about creativity. You can check mine out if you like–www.arkansasscribbler.blogspot.com. “A Creative Life” I heard you played recently and Jane was there and just loved hearing you. Keep rocking and writing. Doing my part over here in Fayetteville, AR Would love to see you come here or near here. I always check it out. Mendy

My decades of experience in the business world taught me a very important lesson that bears on your blog: Security in the “Voice of Reason” world is also an illusion — we just feel more comfortable with that world because everyone else is there, too. Those of you in the corporate world — look at how little control you have over your job and how many factors over which you have no control can take that job away at any time. Paying the bills can be difficult either way, but if you opt to “see the world, have rich conversations, and make beautiful art”, you might just find you have a real life and no longer feel like someone else’s corporate machine part.
