Everybody Has Some

 

I have quoted from and been inspired to extol, numerous times within my own blog posts,  Todd Walton's works.  This time I am linking directly to his latest post and in loud, big letters, beg you to READ IT! 

 

While I was reading and laughing and loving every word of it, I was a little bit chagrined, too.  Only a little bit, though, because he's expressed EXACTLY a large part of my vision/mission for this website--so much better and more delightfully than I could have done.  Please read it and know that, though I won't be promoting a competitive game show to inspire people to feel good about their talents, games are an important element for us on Saturday Art Afternoons.  Here's the link to Todd's Website...it will make you feel wonderful:

"Talking to yourself can be useful. And writing means being overheard."
--Zadie Smith--

ahh...but as Thomas Mann said,

"Speech is civilization itself.
The word, even the most contradictory word, preserves contact
-- it is silence which isolates.
