And...Congratulations on your blog's launch, Steve! And I accepted the assignment, "Teacher", and actually visited. LOL! Your point in your first post here is very well-taken. There's an idea in fantasy writing and in some magical traditions that knowing the true name of something gives you power over it; a sense that a thing/person's real name is that thing/person. I'm also for some reason reminded of Anais Nin's assertion that "We don't see things as they are. We see things as we are." <BR/><BR/>I look forward to being a regular visitor here.Roswilahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15669275952943509399noreply@blogger.com
