What a strange year it has been. Covid was just part of the denouement. Whole unions hung in the balance. I find myself on the other side of the country working for a conglomerate with less experience than I and offered a true chance to make a difference.
Sometimes it is dangerous to reflect. I’ve made choices and been through situations I never would’ve conceived let alone predicted.
Tonight I find myself on my new porch smelling the crisp evening air of the woods and hearing the absence of sirens and engines reflected off bricks. I decided to be bold. I made a skiff from an offer letter and put to sea with only my wits to guide me. But as Claudius opined, I have persevered where smarter men might have foundered.
I take comfort in the settling of the tumult. Like Adams I let the bridge burn behind me. May my world know the peace I have foreseen. I have always preferred my steps to be bold. Now it’s to see whether such commitment bears fruit.
