Let Go and Welcome In

As we are nearing the turn of the new year, and in this time of new adventure, I was lucky to have some friends to help me give away the bad luck with to the night sky. I lit my first sky lantern, which Thai people believe it will take away bad luck with it as symbolic act of letting worries and problems lift off.

The sky lantern is made out of rice paper, bamboo and some wire. It flew quite high into the clear country sky, and looked like a star, which is a good sign. When it stopped burning it disappeared and began it's descent back to the earth, where it will compost.



So, on the eve of receiving the notice that I am not one of the finalist applicants for the Unreasonable Institute for Re-Generation, may another worry or problem have been lifted away.

I won't have the mentor-ships of players from huge corporations that have had some pretty amazing global implications, which could be bad because I won't have their insights, but I think this is good thing. Not get detached from the ground work that still needs a lot of attention.

I also have to rely on the work that I do everyday and building the team to get things rolling.
