Lost a Battle... Still Fighting the War

When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we don't see the one which has opened . - Alexander Graham Bell Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.  It happens.  Having a sports background, I accept a loss differently than most.  Like everyone I have a period of pulling my hair out, then I start looking for what I can "pull" from the situation.  Bell said it best above... time to look for the open door.  The opportunity hard work creates.  I create.  This company is an experiment of sorts.  An experiment in disciplined, self determination.  Everything here I created.  This website, the logos, every product and even some of the equipment to make the products.  An expression of individual liberty and yet more like a justification for being.  Looking for the purity in self reliance... I need to make a mark.  It sounds crazy but I feel a kinship with those early Mountain Men.  Jeremiah Johnson braving the West with total diregard to community.  Unbound from the social network.  Connected but disconnected.  The path less traveled.  It's Zen.. a project in art... to say, "I made that and it's cool".  Now I just have to find someone who agrees. The harder the battle the sweet of jah victory. - Bob Marley
