Each of us has the right and the responsibility to assess the roads which lie ahead, and those over which we have traveled, and if the future road looms ominous or unpromising, and the roads back uninviting, then we need to gather our resolve and, carrying only the necessary baggage, step off that road into another direction. If the new choice is also unpalatable, without embarrassment, we must be ready to change that one as well.

Wouldn't Take Nothing for My Journey Now
This allowed me not to feel like a fool when I made the abrupt changes so characteristic of my life. I call these changes 'The About-Face,' an occurance that no one seems to understand but me. Why would a very educated college graduate wait tables and scrub floors after graduation instead of teach? Why would a mother of three sign over the house to the abusive husband and get an apartment for herself and three children, 2, 6 and 8? Why suddenly move and break all ties, over and over again. I have reasons for each game of About-Face, and Maya made it easier.
