Challenges

Challenges have always been a part of my life - some thrust upon me, others I have even sought. I have found them irresistible. When I view a great painting I want to paint; when I read a great poem I want to write. And so I have plunged into many endeavors whether I had the talent or not. Some of you have seen my painting efforts. Next week, if I can find it and don't lose my nerve, I will post a writing I did several years ago. At the least, my creative efforts have given me a greater appreciation of those gifted with artistic talent.
