This is what made me start reading your blog in the first place, you play on strings that resonate with me. It's certainly an balance act, the needs and wishes of others on one side and you on the other. Your wife's response on whether you should go to Africa or not speaks by itself. By what you write I believe you're doing a good job keeping this balance, actually I wouldn't be surprised if you give more than you get. I guess it's like how you listen to the small voices around you; you should also listen carefully to your own, how small it ever is. You’re quite a philosopher, thinking a lot of life.

Be the hero of your own life! Opening line of Charles Dickens’ novel “David Copperfield”:
“Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show.”

Be the hero of your own life!

As a matter of fact, she wants me to. Of course, I would love for her to go, but she understands that if she did, I would want to spend time with her and wouldn't necessarily get to spend the time getting to know the other people and put in the number of hours that I would want to talking shop, etc. We are both the same way in that regard. I would want the same for her were she to make her own journey. @Bob/Steve: I am flying solo on this one. As a matter of fact, she wants me to.

In the vernacular of the 60's, 'Do it man, you don't have a hair on your *ss if you don't'. For me, after living in the desert, I long for the mountains, cold streams and the Montana trout are singing a sirens song. Good visuals up there and is called the "Big Sky Country" for a reason. By all means, take the lovely bride if she is so inclined. This life is not a dress rehearsal. Be well and a safe journey. Steve Paul,

I'm sure that we'll probably have Internet access at the hotel, so I can probably share 'almost live', if time allows. You'll probably get tired of hearing about it. :-) Rakesh: Congratulations on starting your business and listening to your own song!

In some ways you're going for us, as we all (those who care about you and/or read this blog) aren't going. You share your experiences masterfully through the photos...this trip will be more than just a blessing for you, it will extend to your family directly and to us who know you and enjoy your photographs. So go, feel good about it, and don't keep the photos to yourself when you get back! It’s great you’re going (to Africa).

It's taking a while to get things going, but it's starting to come together... it's a long road, but the journey itself is proving to be, although bumpy, overall quite rewarding. I'll be looking forward to your pictures from the Africa trip! Your timing couldn’t have been better, since I’m also building my photography into a business.

Oh, I certainly want to do that. Dying without the music sounds terrible to me. Keep tapping, enjoy the music - and learn new songs! A trip to africa will most likely be a whole new sinfony in your life. I guess we're all looking forward to hear, err, see and read about all the arias that you'll bring back...;) God, I'm getting jealous. Mhh... “Don’t die with the music still in your heart” ?
