‘‘You enter the forest at the darkest point, where there is no path. Where there is a way or path, it is someone else's path. You are not on your own path. If you follow someone else's way, you are not going to realize your potential.’’ – Joseph Campbell

So we continue to blaze our path. Learning to use fear as a compass, the clenched fist around our heart and soul reminds us that we are heading in the right direction. That there is purpose and meaning guiding our aim. If it were not there, or if this were easy then it likely wouldn’t be sharpening us to such a keen edge. Compelling us forward, to become better.

In order to achieve the ideal life, we need to enter the place of maximum terror. Viewing fear through this lens, it isn’t just a necessary obstacle. Fear indicates the places we must go.

Creating with Syrah continues to be a darkest point we must venture toward; that most magnificent lens into our souls. A grape with such powerful potential — which gives us ample opportunity to compare, perhaps to measure up, perhaps not. But always to learn and to improve.
