Very nice sentiment Michael. I'm reminded of the following quote by John F. Kennedy regarding poetry: 'When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.' Thanks, Kenneth
