RE: Art Speaks, Across Distance and Time
Thank you very much! Your comments are always a treat, full of information and references that add dimension to a post.
I haven't admitted it here (or anyplace at all, I think): When I graduated from high school I received a medal for interest in history. Ranging across continents and centuries comes naturally to me:) What's wonderful is, I can share that and other people are interested, also.
The thing about studying history is, you realize national kinships often outlive national boundaries. One is a matter of choice and the other is imposed.
What fun it was to write this. There really is a book in it, and I've started :))

Oh that dust vote - some days I just vote anyway. One wasted cent. Can't we just have a "Like" button? A point system that doesn't involve wallets?
People who love history (and science) are the most interesting - in part because they are interested in other people and things bigger than themselves. The self-absorbed are much easier to find. -_- What an awesome high school, awarding you a medal for you interest in history! And I'm glad you find people who share your interests. I find people changing the subject or leaving the room when I trot out historical tidbits - e.g., the Meskwawi being the first Native Americans to legally own land in the U.S. Even the atom-smasher in CERN seems to be boring if I'm the one talking about it. (Not that I squat about physics!)
I love this: national kinships often outlive national boundaries
And I can't wait to see the book! There really is a book in it, and I've started :))
