Cwald – You are quite perceptive! I was indeed referencing that line from J.R.R. Tolkien in my subject. The full quote is:

““All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

I do truly believe that “Not all those who wander are lost”. It so aptly describes me at this stage of my journey.

Mike – I chose my screen name after a period of extensive study of Mesoamerican history. It seemed appropriate with my experiences. Besides, it is quite unique.

Doug – I completely agree that during/after reading the HC and JD, it really makes one want to wrap their head in duct tape to keep it from exploding

This is why it is nice to have a forum like this! To help me see, that even though I may desire to be upfront and honest in my “dealings with my fellow man”, it may indeed cause me more aggravation and grief than expected. I enjoy the directness of everyone’s responses and it has directed me to reconsider and pause my intended course of action.

Thank You!
