The Month As Passed

We Made It !


   February 2013 will always stick in my mind, that month will never be banished from my memory, since my life as a bead maker started I've never faced such a long hard struggle for 28 days, the seat in which I work never seemed to cool and my flame was there alongside me every hour. Sleep was not important and hard to find, just work and worry seemed to live that month, that four weeks walking on the edge of failure when we just had to succeed, when every day I longed for a sale and held my breath, when questions of our future turned in my head and answers frightened me.
   Now at last it's over and we made it through that cold second month, we can now smile again but only after I thank those who encouraged us and those who were there for us, not many close friends share this bead hermit's world but those who do are special, they understand why I fight so hard to live this simple life, they know I ask for nothing more than to live here making my beads in this little space I call home.
   I'm a simple village boy with no special education, I love the nature around me and I love learning the magic my flame teaches me, yes I wish the road I walk was sometimes an even one where no rut would trip me nor tree lay across my path, but my life would die away on such long plain roads where thousands of others travel, I'm here such a short time and waste it I won't, I've seen lives taken so early from those who never had time to enjoy and I'll fight a hundred fights to live this one life I have the way I wish, so even those months like February 2013 that lay around the next bend wont stop me, they will hurt me and tire me, they may even frighten me once more but I'll get through them with that flame of magic I adore every day and I'll carry on loving the beads I make.
