The reservoir near my house is practically back to its 1990s water levels. I believe we have probably made it through, and California might be green again.

Well isn't that also true of creative people?You need not be a genius to create fanciful worlds and imaginative lands. You need not suffer for it. You need not be tortured because of it.The creative mind looks OUTWARD into other realms and shares those visions with those of us who can only admire the art.Perhaps there is always a bit of genius in a Tolkien. I would not now. I cannot say.

Pick yourself up wipe yourself off and stop whining.A secondary and much less intensely felt reaction? "poor baby".So who am I? I have no idea. Still all these years later at 82 I have no idea if I'm kind or mean or thoughtful or thoughtless. SIGH.Who are you?
