Max-
I'm unfamiliar with Ward's work but I really liked the quote. I have one
in my office that I think carries a similar theme:
Come to the edge, he said
They said: we are afraid
Come to the edge, he said
They came.
He pushed them...
and they flew.
-Guillaume Apollinaire
Thanks for brightening up my day. -Don.
