Crossing the Street: With Baggage

See crossing the street isn't for everyone, however it's a journey we as artist feel compelled to do, but aren't that clear when to do it, or how. Now for the few of us that take that first step, realize your loved ones, family, or those near and dear to you, are being taken, sometimes kicking screaming, or out right dragged, WITH YOU.

In my previous journal I described my regular "work life" and how those around me viewed "real work". The people around you may not completely understand your journey, never less they have concerns for you that sometimes turn into "fear". That fear can fuel the hesitance to support you, or go with you. And it's okay, it's natural.

Just remember when you finally gather up that "courage" to cross the street, be armed with the "knowledge" and exercise some "wisdom", whether you like it or not, you are taking them with you.  Don't hate them. Don't resent them. All they know is where they are have grown quite comfortable. So that is also something to think about.

Remember to look both ways...
