"If you're not to be forgotten when you're dead and rotten, write something worth reading, or do something worth writing. "
Benjamin Franklin
A student I was editing started her final essay with this quote. It took my breath away. Fortunately I believe in the theory that we all have a special age that we revert to in times of trouble and in times of creativity. I am a ten-year-old standing arms akimbo, expecting the world to get it - to understand...and so I still have time to do something...be it very minor...The quote is not intended as exclusive but inclusive!
