My Reality Spotlight
What can I say to be considered for the 30 days show? I thought at first, that the proposed show for spending 30 days as a throwing off of stress and corporate America for a zen release was too close to my usual approach to life. Now, though, I'm imagining that has been my problem. I think about living that way, but I have been unwilling to take the risk of acctually living that way. Could I lose my job for taking a leave to do a documentary feature?

The reward could outweigh the risk - I may walk away with the internal resources to combat anything in my future (better than the daily work grind ever will). A small amount of advance could replace my normal income while the balance of the fee could be a nest egg to start over either here or in Texas. $10,000 impacted by taxes isn't a huge windfall, but it does represent a third of my earnings in a typical year. I know the universe can spew more my way. What price for giving myself space to know myself better?

A door has opened, it's only a shot, but it could be a very straight, even logical shot that I can't just let pass.
