Sug, your insight this last year has been remarkable and I thank you for making me look again and again. Searching for answers is the focus of my journey. The canvas is still incomplete and I hope never to finish, though I do look to continue the process of painting my experiences, one by one. To be proud of self is an achievement I will relish for abit more and I refuse to apologize for it. I prefer to consider the ego much like I do magic in the hands of one my characters; magic in and of itself is neither good nor evil, it is the intent of the magic user that shapes the direction of the magic to the good or to the evil.
I am not where I want to be, but I am damn sure on the right path!
