Each book gave me directions of how to do stuff. Most importantly they shaped ideas and ideals. I cleaned up my life,,, This was the first step, without this i was going no place in a hurry. Changing my direction ment changing competely. It all started to change my mind and became open to new ideas. looking
back there where a lot of things i had to aquire, like Teaches and TOOLS for this new life,,, I began to do what was written in these books. I began to follow directions just as they where written,,,
I was excited and inspired,,, I still am,,,Along the way many changes have taken place the path has been both rocky and paved, up hill and down,,, I have met a lot of people on the path that are way more expierienced and acomplished than i am who have helped me find the next steps i would need to take me to where i wanted to be,,,
I learned that it all is a process of development, mentaly, emotionaly, physicaly, spiritualy, each has it's challenges and each has it's requierments to develop a WHOLE person. Where i lacked in one would effect the other ,,, where i gained in one also effected all the other areas of my journey. It is a journey. Now after all these years i found a new thing PAINTING,,, KEN KIRKBY inspired me to paint,,, so at the age of 57 i started to paint, when my loveing wife bought me a paint set for Christmas that year,,, I always thought that i would become a woodworker as a profession,al,,, shows-ta-go-ya ,,, you never know where the path of life will take you ,,, I may not be important to know where this path will lead,,, it maybe most important that i am open to each bend each fork and willing to change as oppertunity presents and choices are open,,, the direction is still clear ,,, it's forward,,, I am able to paint mostly, yet still enjoy my woodwork ,,, I am just simply growing, spiritualy, physicaly, mentaly, emotionaly all of it creatively,,,
