Declare Your Independence on Independence Day
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."
Bernard Baruch (Financier/Statesman/Author) 1870 - 1965.
Society tends to discourage, criticize, and even condemn behavior or beliefs which it considers counter productive, disruptive, and even harmful to standards, beliefs, and traditions established by those in positions of power and influence.
It is tempting to desire to blend in, be accepted, and avoid criticism or ostracism.
Life is too short to waste it trying to be anyone other than the person you truly are. Embrace the fact that you are a uniqe human being and not a mass-produced product.
Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."
Oscar Wilde (Playwright/Author/Poet) 1854 - 1900.

I was thinking of you yesterday while dusting the book shelves in my den and had to remove the four-story compilation, Childhood Fears which includes your novella Scarecrows. It has been quite awhile since I purchased it, so I have dcided to re-read it.
