Illustrated by youngsters. I was so impressed with the lad automatically taping two sheets together upon starting. Almost like an artist priming a canvas.<br />I hope he is real.<br />[and that you are on the mend].Janine Bolléehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09857073674960699155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-60790833995184901972013-05-06T11:58:12.764+01:002013-05-06T11:58:12.764+01:00Mary

Th...<b> Mary</b><br />I could wish for no more. Thanks.<br /><br /><b>Kelvin </b><br />Thanks for your very comprehansive and absorbing comment. It leaves me wondering if we ever can know exactly what we - and others - take from the ancient myths.<br /><br /><b>Claudia </b><br />Thanks Claudia for both comments. Obvious now you say, yet I hadn't given it a thought!<br /><br /><b>Brian </b><br />Yes, some staff at the school thought the construction of image and language could not have been his. It was too advanced, was something he'd heard. My thought was - and is - that if so, it didn't matter, for he had heard it, taken it in and made it his own.<br /><br /><b>Grace </b><br />I think we'd all go along with your first assertion. Thanks for the kind comment.<br /><br /><b>Ygraine </b><br />Many thanks forsuch a stimulating and encouraging response. I do agree with your thoughts... except ye become as a little child... and all that!<br /><br /><b> Björn </b><br />Exactly so, it's the openness that is important. There are no right answers.<br /><br /> <b>Cloudia </b><br />And thank you - so much!<br /><br /><b>Tommaso </b><br />Thanks for saying so. Very lifting.<br /><br /><b>Fred </b><br />Thanks Fred, such a rich and fertile space for thought.<br /><br /><b>manicddaily </b><br />Agreed! And yet at the time we were all so obsessed with its inane signals!<br /><br /><br />Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-66219859134270785972013-05-06T02:29:14.608+01:002013-05-06T02:29:14.608+01:00Ha!
