Maybe it’s somewhere you need to go. A different way of life you yearn to live. Or simply the need to fight for what’s right. Arnon Kartmazov defied convention to find his own independent path. Where will yours take you? |
THE MOMENT ARNON KARTMAZOV KNEW HE HAD FOUND HIS LIFE'S PASSION HE WAS CRAWLING IN THE DIRT TO THE NEAREST WATER FAUCET HAVING JUST CLIMBED OUT OF THE FURNACE-HOT FORGING PIT OF A JAPANESE MASTER BLACKSMITH. He had hammered a hunk of raw steel into shape for what seemed like an eternity. He sat under a tree with his mentor, sipping tea, mopping his face, and marveling at the sun dipping into the ocean. He was bone tired and filthy, crusted with dried sweat when he decided right then and there that he’d be doing this for the rest of his life. |
