Life's on the Wire
In Al Pacino's autobiography, "Sonny Boy," he tells a story about a family of tightrope walkers who once suffered a serious accident. As soon as they recovered from the disaster, they were back on the wire. When one of them was asked why he continued to perform after what had happened, he replied:
"Because life’s on the wire, the rest is just waiting."
It didn't matter how dangerous it was. He was a tightrope walker; it was his life—period.
For the same reason, an artist continues to paint without being noticed, a poet continues to write poems without earning a penny, and a musician keeps writing music that never gets played on the radio.
Not doing it is not an option.
For the same reason, we continue to blog even if no one reads our posts. We continue to write even though it's an expense without any income. We blog because it's a part of us, because it's something we love to do.
Blogging is our life on the wire.
