As spring breaks, Ice cracks, There is life, And joy. ~VI

Kal Archer: This site is about the imagination to feel free to embrace the truth (and other observations): - Love of labor must at least equal love of other people. Love borne of obligation is fundamentally flawed. Love borne of necessity is better. The best love of course is sincere (through and through). - Great art is the truth (and other observations) expressed with eloquence, grace, wisdom, and so on. If you can't appreciate great art, you are missing the best of history. - The courage to explore and appreciate precious diversities, move on, and then to focus on a few key labors of love makes life a joy worth living and celebrating; without becoming complacent. There is growing competition. (And economies seem to tilt more every day, but maybe that's just me). - Study, sport, (martial, visual or other) art, science, music, challenge of any sort, is an invitation to excel. There is less point trying to excel at something if what you do best is something else. Excel at what you do best, and what you enjoy most. (For havensake excel.) - If that labor of love is at least equal to your love of the people around you, you must be happy!
