I have spent much of my life walking alone. I have talked about such things before, right here on the blog…
I walk to the beat of a different drum, than most people. Life is too be lived and not averaged out across the board. My dad taught me by his inaction and early death at 50, that you must grab parts of life and hang on to experience it fully…
I am not alone now and Svetochka and Boza are perfect companions. But in my past, I have walked alone many times…

I have walked alone many times to find someone to pass that flame along to. But I realized long ago that some things must be carried for life and some things must be cast away. To burden someone with that flame, would force me to walk alone again. I have someone to walk with me now and I keep the flame away from her…
