theme that we have to work hard to achieve our
goals?
Daniel lifted his head and smiled at the little girl, his
Aface radiating perfect contentment at last.
Since he had visited San Francisco, California, with his
rents when he was twelve, Daniel had aspired to be a sidewalk
tist. Every summer after that visit to the City by the Bay, he
ad taken drawing and painting lessons, perfecting his work and
Jen earning prizes in various art contests throughout his high
chool years. Then, after high school graduation, his parents had
ncouraged him to accept a generous scholarship he was offered
study medicine at a prestigious east coast university. Daniel
adn't wanted to because he felt it was his calling in life to be a
idewalk artist and to study medicine would be to betray his

perfecting his work and even earning prizes in
various art contests throughout his high school years.
Now, at age 40, Daniel was having what his friends

teenage years when he'd spent so much of his time and energy
creating works of art, he realized that he had been like a butterfly
then, free and light and perfectly content. Though it had honored
his parents and earned him an excellent living with worthwhile
work, the decision to study medicine had sent him back into the
cocoon. The butterfly had become imprisoned for years, and
now he was breaking out, flying back to his dream of being a
sidewalk artist in downtown San Francisco.
For the last six weeks, whenever the patient load was light
at his small medical practice and one of his partners took over for
him, Daniel picked up his easel and paints and rode the red cable
cars down to Pier 39. He spent hours there inhaling the faintly
