Sometimes when I read your post I can’t believe how similar we are I almost feel like I wrote it. People whose work and occupation is also their life passion are so lucky. But I do think it’s rare, and then I’m reading Abraham Verghese‘s new book-- medical Dr., Stanford professor, an unbelievably talented novelist? All in one life? How is that even possible? The more things that I do that are ends in themselves the better. Because there’s so many social safety nets it’s not so fraught to become an artist if you have kids because you know your children will have health care and federally managed public schools. I think it’s a much more harrowing decision in the US especially in places like California.
