New Year, New Decade

Okay, so last year, one of the worst years – ugliest decades - in memory, at this time I was crossing the South Pacific on board a luxury cruise ship on a shoot, soon to arrive in the Marqueses, Tahiti, Moorea, and Bora Bora? (While airplanes were falling out of the sky, landing smoothly in the Hudson River?) And I would leave again in February to sail the Atlantic coast of South America from Fortaleza to Salvador de Bahia to Rio to Buenos Aires? All destinations on my “must see before I die” list? And this year, I’ve nothing quite so exotic and appealing on the horizon? Other than the usual, no solidly booked projects, in fact; nothing major to brag about, nothing to hang my hat on? What if I’m kind of adrift in a sea of uncertainty, out of sight of land, with no lifesaver within reach? Scary situation for a freelancer. Or maybe a fabulous opportunity. Hmm. Where does this sense of calm and at peace come from? Is it 1. insanity, as defined as the lack of reason...
