EQ--for The Agony And The Ecstasy “The Agony and the Ecstasy” is the title of a novel about Michelangelo, by Irving Stone. When I encountered the title in middle school, I decided to read the book to find out what “agony” and “ecstasy” might be like, states of existence apparently available to uber-humans like Michelangelo. I was sure I had not experienced them. It may have been a misperception, or it may have been a vocabulary...... Source : Party Conversation

The Dignity Of Labor I love artists, because I’m a wordsmith and they say things I can never say.

The Fable Of The Elephant And The Woman Who Wasnt Blind This isn’t the story about the four blind men and the elephant, this is the story of me looking at that 6 ton elephant in the zoo, tethered to that tiny stake, and wondering why on earth she doesn’t break loose. Instead she rocks back and forth when it should take an electric fence, iron bars, or 25 armed men to confine her, if that. It’s all in her mind, God love her.How can this happen? How has......
