Why Knitivity??
I am proof that THERE IS LIFE AFTER HURRICANE
KATRINA! My dog and I had to hunker down in
New Orleans during and after The Event (read my
"Katrina Diary" here), and I was a changed person when it was
all said and done.
So what does one do after very fiber of one's
being has been shaken, stirred, folded, spindled, and somewhat
mutilated? Why, he chucks it all, walks away, and begins life on
his own terms ... and starts his own yarn-dyeing business to
celebrate whatever new version of liberty has been wrought by
Katrina's devastation. Little funding, little backing, and pretty
fool-hardy, but plenty of moral support and best wishes from
friends and fellow-crafters and artists. And so far it is
working! With YOUR HELP, my story and my success will help others
overcome tragedy and horrific devastation in their own
lives.
Thoreau wrote, "The mass of men lead lives of
quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed
desperation." After Katrina there was no
way I could return to the resignation of working a
"job" (aka, "Journey of Boredom") simply because that's the way
everyone else dies inside. I refuse to be either quiet OR
resigned!
