Here's something I wrote when I was about 12 years old: "Too many people get caught up in the noise of everyday life that they never hear the symphony of what life is really all about."

You're a funny guy! ; ) But humor aside, and in all sincerity, I would say that your mission has nothing to do with your dishes. But rather has something to do with connecting. With others. With everything.

Well, couldn't get by on my looks, see. :) It was either be funny or start answer those e-mails about... umm... enhanced dimensions.

It does get you wondering about what kind of legacy you're ultimately going to leave behind, doesn't it? If any.

A prescient observation. I think most people start to come to that realization as they draw closer to the end of the symphony. When you think you still have movement upon movement to go, you tend to ignore it. That's what I mean in another comment I made here about Kat's photograph of the crossing guard in the rain. That's tuning into the symphony.

In some ways, I think we leave a legacy every day. Our actions and words often go much further than we could imagine.

You know how to make people feel good. : ) Thanks.
