On a long walk in London

I had almost forgotten about this... I was just searching thru some of the pics on my computer and came across this. When I went to London in March of 2006 was it really 2006? Holy cow it was.. and I guess in a way that makes the story all the better, and much more divine in a way. I had decided that I was going to try and find this random place that I had been back in the spring of 1997, so I took the train out to the stop that I remembered and started to walk... I found the little fish place and had a fantastic fish and chips and decided that I would just continue walking around since the area was so beautiful. I ended up getting a little bit lost and bugger... maps are not easy to follow in London trust me. But I turned a corner and this was on the side of a building and sat on the bench that was there and just kind of read it over and over and it just spoke something deep inside me. I don't think I even knew at the time or really ever have been able to articulate that feeling of the flame deep down that was always there to follow my dream having fuel poured all over it. I left London 5 days later and it was almost 4 months to the day that, with my knees shaking, and my only desire being to not freeze up and forget the lines I was delivering a monologue at an audition to get into AMDA. Flash forward to today a year and a half from that day in London and I am 3 months from graduating from an acting conservatory program in NYC! The dream had become my life!
