For me the moral dilemma this past year has been how to make peace with the unacceptable.
May SartonMy musical genius reached its apex thirty years ago when I played the triangle in Haydn's children's symphony, so I could not play unless you needed someone to make one sustained note!

I am not a phoenix yet, but here among the ashes, it may be that the pain is chiefly that of new wings trying to push through.
