A fair enough question. Seems like I get asked this frequently lately.
Once I establish the context of the question (as in do you mean how do I earn the small living I am capable of, or what do I DO in the larger context...) I try to give as clear an answer as possible. The wage earning is much easier, the big DO is much more nebulous. So i decided to illustrate (based on current conditions, interest, prevailing winds, weathers and tides...)
This is artisting-specific, not incorporating wage work and life maintenance, but you can probably see the logical progression of any add on.
Trust me, the analog real-life version of this is much more convoluted...
"What exactly is it you DO?"...
Crafty
I have decided that everyone needs a soapbox...
for standing on, pontificating, resisting, rousing the rabble, poetica, or to see what's on the horizon...
(found and altered pallet. performance text in the works...)
Change is coming (hopefully...)
It's a long way from my mountaintop to town. And I'm not a fan of big crushing crowds, or over-hyped anything. But on a whim we went to the city and saw Barack Obama speak today.
It was worth it.
I had already decided long ago on my vote. I've watched the speeches, the debates, and read the books. By far and away the most inspiring candidate of my lifetime. The first and only time I've been more than positively lukewarm about anyone that has run for office. He is articulate and intelligent, and seemingly willing to unify and collaborate with any and all who are willing to work together and fix the accumulated wreckage of our government and society.
Change is needed. Let's hope it comes.
