I am so happy to greet you this evening. I wanted to say a word about legacy tonight. There was an opinion piece in yesterday's (Twin Cities) StarTribune {2020-01-29} that talked about what a legacy Kobe Bryant might have left. The author said that almost all of us will be remembered for about 50 years, at best. And that only a handful are remembered beyond that time. It is a great piece, if you can find it.
Legacy is some of what drives my creative endeavors; I think that if I can produce some work, perhaps it will live on after I pass away. I don't know if that is true or not, but it does stay hidden in the back of my mind - in the deep recesses of my hidden shadows. It won't stop my music composing, nor my poetry or photography. There is much I think I need to share. And if 50 years is all I really get, then perhaps my grandchildren (well, grandchild now: hopefully plural someday) will tell their children about what their great-grandfather or great-grandmother has done and what kind of an impact was made. Again, I will never know for sure, but perhaps in the afterlife I may.
Thanks for reading and now you can look forward to more posts. I guess some browsers work better than others... :-).
