I'm very happy to have landed in the Gulch... If only there were such a place on this earth! Makers only...no takers.. Imagine what we could build...the beauty, the form following function, the pure purpose and will. Watched Babette's Feast again the other night. In the final scene, Babette reveals herself as one of the greatest French chefs to have lived. She was driven from Paris during the revolution after her husband and and son were killed,(probably on the guillotine) She comments, Throughout the world sounds one long cry from the heart of the artist,"Give me a chance to do my very best"
Clearly there is a parallel to current times and issues...and clearly this is a never ending issue with man's struggle with excellence and envy...
