What is a writer's gift? The wandering, lustful mind. What is a writer's curse? The very same thing that prevents him/her from keeping to the same location or task. Over-reliance on personal talent may make one forget to work with others. Too much of anything becomes a problem. Ah, gifts/blessings – seems to me that what is a blessing is a curse.

Pravda eh? And the :) face. Interesting. Years ago I learned some Russian along with Cyrillic script before my travels in Russia. I can see here it's all been forgotten. Oh well, have to make room for today's clutter. My word, I didn’t see this Russian reply till your post. Pravda eh? And the :) face. Interesting.

I for one appreciate how you express your explorations, more than I appreciate in general the 'use of words' by others. Faith requires faith to believe in it... as light requires a source to shine. What light, what source, what shine? Good questions. And the object-subject-action? It's you-you-you. (Connected) By the way, Правда - pravda - truth, is the only word I recognize in the Russian reply... What does that say about my gift? ;-) In this way I pay you back.
