Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

Writing Prompt: What is the most adventurous thing you’ve eaten?
This will be a short one for me-I am not a very adventurous eater!
My life has been filled with poetry, before and after I married my wife, Marguerite. Before her there was Shakespeare and Robert Frost and Poe. After our marriage, when we walked around Los Angeles [we couldn’t afford a car, so we walked everywhere or took an occasional bus] she would quote favorite poems to me. Emily Dickinson and Lord Byron and, one night, THERE WILL COME SOFT RAINS by Sara Teas- dale. I was so affected by the poem that I knew I must do something with it; give it as a gift to others, but also celebrate it by putting it into the framework of a story.
