Out from my $1000/mo rental house and the jail that it had become. Out from the prison and weight on my shoulders of everything I own owning me. I huge sigh of relief has passed over me now, and a dense cloud many years in the making is lifting from my thoughts and things in general are looking much better. My business is closed, no more dealing with the stresses imposed from without and from within, no longer will I stress myself out being guilty I am not addressing every potential customer, every current customer, all my employees and all the bullshit that goes with running a business. Sure I am not making the bank I once was, but when money is the only thing that makes one “happy” that is not happiness at all.
I head out on the road tomorrow, spending a couple days climbing in Smith Rock, then on to SLC and climbing in the Wasatch Mnts, then on to Colorado and maybe stop off in Red Rock country to clear the mind and reattach with my roots. Life is looking much better, my brain is actually functioning clearly and although I really have no clear idea of what I will do in Colorado, or whether I will be “homesick” for Portland, everything is much better right now. Time to see how things go, being out in the open air and living simply again. There is nothing better!

Like Abraham Lincoln said – “Peace will come soon and come to stay, and so come as to be worth keeping in all future time. It will then have to be proved that among free men there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet, and that they who take such appeal are sure to lose their cases and pay the cost.”
