This is a quote I keep on my bulletin board in the kitchen:
"As civilization advances, people suffering from the madness that is poetic sensibility are less and less tolerated. Defense of poetry thus means: defense of humanity, defense of authenticity".---Galsan Tschinag
I am planning to attend the writer's conference next week and I'm very excited about it. I believe that some of our hope for the future lies in creativity and I love to be around other creative people.
