I don't know if we as individuals get much in the way of new beginnings, but that doesn't mean that the system itself cannot come back around and find some healing.Patrick M.

That doesn't always happen, though, and we have to live the bad times like the good. It's difficult to keep up any level of optimism sometimes, but I think it's a worthy effort, even when there's only a slim chance that being positive is actually realistic.<BR/><BR/>Doc, <BR/><BR/>All things come clean. Some just have to be remade in total before that can happen.<BR/><BR/>Bill, <BR/><BR/>I think the universal aspects of existence are rich territories to be mined in terms of any sort of artistic venture. If there isn't some level of the universal experience, the overarching understandings we all come to, then I think the work suffers.<BR/><BR/>Soulless,<BR/><BR/>Glad to meet with your approval. Yes, the tragedy in New Orleans has been on everyone's mind, I guess. Consciously or unconsciously, it affects our view of things. I did have it in mind on this one, at least in some abstract fashion.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, everyone, for coming over and saying hello. Your comments mean a lot to me.Patrick M.
