What has been on my mind lately is the question of commitment vs exploration. What is gained and what is lost with the choice of either? And what do I want more right now? Am I getting the most I can out of my experiences if I’m one foot in, one foot out, or just living this half-way? There’s still so much to be learned and gained from staying at Wheaton Labs and I really do enjoy my time here. But maybe I’m not ready to be in a place that feels like settling. Maybe I’m meant to contend with the “real world” a little more. Maybe this is just my restlessness, or me in my own strange way growing weary at this whole thing in some ways seeming too good.
It feels like there is a voice within that’s wanting me to listen closely and beckoning me forward. But in which direction?
In any case, growth is inevitable.

Gusty that.  if you should go to the cities this winter to earn cash, there is no rent this year. Clayton may come also, heck we may see Clayton here since a big fire wiped his work farm out.

You'll see what a large Pacific Northwest city's culture is really like. And in April, you'll have a wad of cash to decide where you want to explore.

Each April, I hope to take a month's road trip before returning to Wheaton Labs to see places like Mark Shepard's. One year, Clayton says he's down for going to Tamera.org to see how they function ; that would be an international type of exploring.

I am strongly commited to helping out WL via Ant Village, but I always explore.

The invite to try out one winter of raking in cash in the cities is open to you and those Boots who I have already invited (Lara is looking at the ATI. Grey needs more time here and Dez is absolutely committed to his path...kinda like me and First Light this summer).
