A few years ago I was on a rafting trip on the Salmon River in Idaho. It was a wonderful journey with a small group, that took me far away from my usual life.  I asked myself many questions, on that trip.  Like, "What am I doing with my life?"  I learned to kayak, and one day took one out, solo.  The rapids turned turbulent, and I was thrown from my little craft.  As I came up for air, and held on for my life, I came against a rock wall that looked like it would crush me; but the current took me around the corner, a hair's breath from death, and I floated on.  When I got back to dry land I kneeled, and wept, and thanked God that I had been spared.  And I knew it was for a reason.  I am still waiting for my instructions, "Why".  Until I hear them, I continue to Make Art.
