Hello Gordon!

I am always up for some sage. One of my favorite spices...and thank you for reminding me about this:

> Ah Albert. He's one of my mastermind group,
> and he's as real to me as some of Napoleon
> Hill's round table were to him, perhaps I
> should wait for the next "session"
> and ask Albert what the heck he meant

***I need to create my own mastermind group. I have such an admiration for brilliant people who lived before my time....great idea.

...but I got to warn you, the guy sometimes gets so far out, none of us have a clue...ha!

****Makes life even more interesting, IMHO!

***This is such glorious imagery. Thank you for that! Again, the more I thought about this quote, the more I believe within the illustration is something of a paradox, as well as something about how we perceive darkness and light.

*****And I have noticed the same thing in my studies of Einstein. One of the reasons I so enjoy him is his depths philosophically as well as scientifically. Back to "How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci"....a blending of Art and Science.

***Another *big grin* over here!

Thanks for playing along!

With Purpose and Passion,
