What is the aim or goal of your writing:
All good things come from God. Compassion, generosity, justice, loving kindness. Fine parents, superb teachers, kind friends. The passion for excellence all around me.
My work ethic? Man and woman were created to create and make. They grow in wisdom and grace, both the creators and those things created, at best.
My aesthetic? The true, the good, and the beautiful work together in response. Each is needed by the harmonious soul, and for the harmony of the whole being.
