Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose
Rabindranath Tagore
Having recently lost my full-time job, I have become free to pursue other options. I am writing this post from Rome, Italy, on my way to Macau, China where I will be teaching philosophy and website design for the next two months. I will let you know what the world looks like from there.
