Wow, thanks for that! It sums it up so well. Indeed, when I went to Moosecamp in the summer of 2005 to take what I considered my first "formal" steps towards clowning (I hadn't realized yet just how much I was already trying things out and discovering my character well) this was along the line of what I told everyone who asked me what in the world it was that I was doing.
"I'm setting out upon a journey," I would explain. "This is my first step of faith into the waters. Where it's going to from here, I don't entirely know. I'll just keep walking along the path wherever it leads. For now, I'm content and confident that this is where I have to be and what I have to do."
Yes, thank you for reminding me of that! A year and a half out from then I can see how far I've come, and how my clowning is STILL and will always be a "journey, not a destination".
