Yellow bricks

Why do I gotta be always soul-searching?  Why can't I just pick/follow/take a path, a road?  There's this novel project I'm working on.  I love this project.  But I ask myself every week or so if it's important enough to do.  Why do something if it isn't important, or Important?

I'm making things.  The last couple of days, I've been chopping up plastic bags for this making-things project.  I love this project.  I dream about it.  I'm chopping bags.  What in my education and interests led me to do a project that involves a LOT of plastic bags?  What am I doing here?

The dog(s) are so fascinating.  What an amazing thing evolution did, pulling two very different species along so that they intertwine and make both lives far better in combination.  What an amazing thing it is to touch an alien mind, to learn to communicate, to learn to live with.

The birthers.  God love 'em.  They're kind of alien minds, too, and of course that's where MY interest is.  What makes them tick?  If I could clicker train one, what would be the treat?

Why haven't I learned more Chinese?  Where is the best place to play my clarinet?  Should we really live on a farm?  Should I learn to shoot?  What about the DC SOWPODS League?  Where should I best put my Scrabble frustration?

What road am I on?  My GPS is busted.  It's a nice road, though, and I do have a picnic basket, and there's always the next hill to crest.

Maybe I'm not a one-road gal.
