Inspiration comes with work such as yours, and the sage of sages, the artist behind the indelible words like a man called Steinbeck. Thank you for that.

The notion that courage is at the forefront of all work of art is a grand notion. And I agree with your theory of the need to bring to the light the fact we need more courage among us wielding a quill as a weapon de jur.

A sense of courage in simply being what we must is enough courage for many of us. But to write it down for others to discern and ascribe our name to it is an entirely different matter. There you find the very few, ala the men and women for all seasons. What not to love in that world of winters and springs?
