Outside the Box

He farmed because farming is what he knew; but a farmer
was not who he was, because he had other money-making
businesses for himself and his family.  What he knew and the
'box in which he was born and raised' were not big enough for him,
nor did they define him. My father, entrepreneur at heart, outside the box.
