Like the fool in the picture on the cards, we all dance the dance
called 'Life' precariously balanced between bliss and the abyss.
Lose your balance, fall either way, and you are lost. Or,
perhaps, the point is never to stay at the balance point, but to always be in a state of flux between reality and fantasy,
hope and fear, the lost world of predecension and the darkness beyond the veil. We are much more than the sum of
our material parts and the energy of life and consciousness which animates us.
Roots. The beginning. Who and what we are and what
we have become. It is our parents, grandparents, great grandparents to the beginning of time that give us our genetic
makeup and all of the foibles that come with us in this life; then the cultural values and religious beliefs that color our
way of thinking and our daily behaviors and tendencies. Finally, our individuality, our ability to rise above the shortcomings
of genetics and heritage, to overcome conservative or radical values, and to eschue the constraints of the past in search
of our own future. If we can achieve this while still remembering who and what we came from, with those advantages and
disadvantages, then we are on the path of humanity, and the journey to being truly human.

A Bit About the Author:
I'm a stubborn half-century-old woman who was born in Montana
to parents who came from the homesteading and ranching traditions. My love of the open spaces sometimes makes living
in the city hard, because people in large numbers act an awfully lot like sheep in a thunder storm - if one spooks, the
whole herd follows it right over the cliff! On the other hand, in small parties they are, for the most part, intelligent
and sensible beings.
In my life, I have done a very many things both for pleasure
and out of necessity. I have been a teacher in the public school systems of Montana. I have been a musician (my
lifelong dream), made an attempt at earning money as an artist (now I understand why they say "starving" artist), and generally
worked at whatever would pay the bills and keep me housed (the general way of life in the world).
I am glad to say that my parents and teachers instilled in me a great
respect for knowledge and the acquisition of skills. I have therefore studied at a great many things, but never become
an expert at them; you might say I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up!
Now, please get on exploring and see if there is anything that
