Now I see why you responded the way you did to the question I posed on my blog. <br />A further question for consideration is how do we nurture the idiosyncratic beauty of the less fortunate to enable them to have equal access and opportunity? Should this be a societal task, or has America become so individualistic that we don't even care about nurturing the creative 'La Mamas' trapped inside of so many underprivileged youth of our day-and-age?Idiosyncratic_Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875759908118509033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834636674346020262.post-23139215017918013442009-07-12T21:48:20.843-04:002009-07-12T21:48:20.843-04:00Bruce - I thank you for your kind words.

Our hearts sing songs that we cannot take credit for; mine were the words inspired by your wonderful ability to draw the listener in and make him/her feel a part of the story; a silent witness, hidden within the shadows. Mine were but remarks regarding the beauty that I beheld. Keep at it; I look forward with anticipation.<br /><br />Johnmindmatterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737399062032683048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834636674346020262.post-8160862724034311922009-07-12T09:24:22.046-04:002009-07-12T09:24:22.046-04:00John, I love that comment.John, I love that comment.Bruce Coltinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12861316663245952372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834636674346020262.post-15123486416019598592009-07-11T20:16:56.452-04:002009-07-11T20:16:56.452-04:00A riveting, compelling tale that I could not pull ...A riveting, compelling tale that I could not pull away from. As you lowered the curtain on this mesmerizing scenario, I could see in my mind's eye the pushcart wheel so clearly... An unsung American hero, and an inspiration to the following generations. Bravo. I was drawn in, and felt that I was there with the commentator, a silent fly upon the wall of overlooked history.<br /><br />Johnmindmatterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737399062032683048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834636674346020262.post-77759802740144780962009-07-09T13:55:10.723-04:002009-07-09T13:55:10.723-04:00Wow.

The 1960's seem like ancient history to today's kids. But it's not.
