"I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority."
E.B. White


I recommend to all at some point in your life reading the book Ishmael. And if you have read it, then I suggest maybe re-reading to remind yourself. I often for get my place in this web.

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
-- Frank Herbert, Dune. Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear.

For year's I had been afraid to put my self out into the world. Well at least an honest version of myself. My art is about as honest as I get. When I put that on the table for the world to see, I feel exposed. It took me 3 years to feel ready to sell my jewelry in a store and two more years to sell it to a bigger audience online.
Even though the fearful thoughts still creep in. I pass them buy for a life that is truly satisfying.

On tour in July I'd set up an old suitcase with all my jewelry inside and sell it at all of our shows. This was an over whelming experience at first but proved to be my most profitable business venture yet. I sold more jewelry in three weeks then I had in 5 years. I got to preform, have fun, meet new friends, and make my own mark in venues that had never seen such an intriguing merch table.

I can't wait to get back on the road in October. My suitcase will be there will me. With some minor improvements, like better lighting and a mirror(how did I ever forget that one). The photo's are of my suitcase.
