On our way back from walking yesterday, she said, “If we found a house we liked out here, I’d probably be very happy.” I concurred. This isn’t about housing, though. It never has been. It’s about a survivor learning to get out of his own way. That’s the mission. I’ll never get it fully done but I am trying. Now, if only I could just relax.

John,

It’s about a survivor learning to get out of his own way.
I really appreciate your observations. As you can see, I whacked the little essay that wasn’t.That’s all that’s been happening lately. But today there was a relevant shift, and I experienced trust.
