I'm really tired, but will try to write more than that. Remember that what you see now is always clouded by what you think of the past and what you predict for the future. Even if we say we have no idea what will happen, or what something will be like, we still have some form of concept of what it will be like.....these preconceptions can be helpfull, but I suspect that they more often blind us to opertunity and limit our ability to adapt. When going into something you know nothing about, the first thing you must do is know nothing about it. Drop all unfounded preconceptions and be aware of how little you know. That way you will walk in, seeing what is there, rather than looking for what you think should be there....again a little peice of knowledge that I got from the sands of arrakis. Books.....books make me older than I am....it is kinda crazy the things that I have read about and how it becomes part of me...alot of things I have learned that I use...generally not direct skills, but more of ways of looking at things and little tricks and new ideas....I have been a sqire in caste creed, I have learned from the theives of krondor. I was a hourse vet and blacksmith...I have faught in nam, in kesh, to protect sol, out of rage, out of love, for no reason...explored upper atmosphere of jupiter...had a floresint bike...rebuilt a mill after the kings army burned it...lead the accoma and atradies to victory...and this is not nearly complete....waht does it all give me? Nothing but what I take...a few tricks...a little wisdom...dosen't make me strong, just helps me see the path...I still have to walk it myself.
