Yeah, it is profound. I should have been internalizing this the minute I stepped back onto Icelandic soil, in March 2007. It's been haunting me since then.

Seriously, take those words to heart. As someone else once told me (in a less profound way), your most embarrassing moment is someone else's entertainment for about 5 seconds. Then their focus shifts to something else. Self-consciousness bites us all in the ass... go out there and try, make some mistakes, and try again. The only person who might notice is you. Everyone else is too focused on their own mistakes to realize what you might be doing wrong.
