Ive been trying to find a metaphor for whats about to happen, and nothing I thought of worked, until it occurred to me what I wanted to do was Clear the mechanism. If youre going to use a sports metaphor, it may as well be an awesome one. Its not taking a break because Im not really stopping anything Im doing. Its not going away because even when I dont want to be, Im always around, and always paying attention. But Im going to spend more time backstage, refocusing on important things more than urgent ones, and trying to find my zen in the process. The things that have to be done will still get done; I have assistants to make sure books and prints are signed and sent; I have apprentices to watch the website, fan pages, messages and email; and Ill still be keeping most of the present commitments I have to be onstage, so to speak. I have committed to several major conventions this year, and a number of speaking appearances. Theres at least one big cancellation that may happen: after confirming my participation in several aspects of the conference, Im not going to be able to attend LTUE after all. I was looking forward to it as a show Id be working at less, and more of a social thing/vacation sort of trip, but its just not going to be possible. I hope everyone who wanted to see me there will understand and forgive. Thats about as much as Im going to say right now, except that in the next few days I fully expect my world to be turned completely upside down. Fortunately, gravity works the same on upside down worlds as it does on the right side up ones, so all Im really going to need to pay attention to are the signs along my path and the steps that I take as I walk it. I havent paid enough attention to either. But I am now. Be awesome to each other. Your brother in moxie, James
