Escaping - Jerry's Map

I have always wanted a hobby. One of those all encompassing, sucks you in and blocks out the rest of the world type of hobbies. There have definitley been times in my life where the distraction would have been nice to have. There is just one problem...or two perhaps.

Jerry's Map

First, I lack artistic talent on all levels. I am even partially color blind which I'm sure doesn't help my feeble attempts at making ordinary things look beautiful through the artistic process. Second, I just don't have the patience it requires to focus in the minutia. That is why I find the idea of Jerry's map so interesting.

This man has been creating, destroying, and re imagining a imaginary world of his own making since 1963. What I find even more bizarre is that his map is formed from thousands of sheets of paper that he has never seen put together. Can you imagine spending a life time working on something and never getting to see the end result? This doesn't seem to bother Jerry though, for him its all about the journey.

I feel like my life is the project and I will never get to see the end result, but then none of us really get to see the final result of our lives do we. Hope I can just enjoy the journey.
