The Soft Open

It starts with a few, very caring people in your life suggesting (nudging) you into something you’re not sure you are equip for. It’s not as dramatic as a crisis of confidence, but it might be its next door neighbor. After gentle prodding, and the gift from perhaps my BIGGEST fan, I am embarking on the unknown. I’m not entirely convinced that my insights and experiences will be all that interesting or relevant to anyone else but you don’t know until you try. Like Robert Redford’s reluctant admission in Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, right before they take their monumental leap off the cliff near the end, “I can’t swim.”
