You have the word, but that is all." > Hi John, Maybe more it's that human affairs can be so complicated. Even with the best of intentions, I've come to believe we can only change ourselves. And by doing so, maybe the best hope is not to add to the mess. The Lame Deer book is very good; he has an important story to tell and a wonderful sense of humor. I I seem to have run out of words. If I had nothing of value to write before, I seem to have less now. Been working with a big eraser. - At least I'm painting. Love your stories!
