Ray, thank you so much for this. It reminded me of what life is truly about, and of how, at my best moments, I want to be. Your reminder is particularly relevant right now to me, as I have grappled with a difficult matter (resignation as president from an organization in which I had great hopes) - and your words made evident what the answer must be.
I think I must print your words out and keep them handy in the coming days. Again, I thank you. Lawry I said: and I meant: >>Instead of creating > >great soaring works of human imagination and building economies around such, > >we have built our lives around widgets that mean little and eventually lead > >us all down the road to pillaging our neighbors or creating > >self-justification for legal conundrums that will make even murder just.
