I Was Always Making Things. Even Though

To Fly, We Must Have Resistance.

I Went Through Withdrawal When I Got Out Of Graduate School. It's What You Learn, What You Think. That's All That Counts.

The Only Thing That Mattered Was What You Were To Do In Life, And It Wasn't About Money. It Was About Teaching, Or Learning.

I Deliberately Did Not Read Anything About The Vietnam War Because I Felt The Politics Of The War Eclipsed What Happened To The Veterans. The Politics Were Irrelevant To What This Memorial Was.

I Saw The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Not As An Object Placed Into The Earth But As A Cut In The Earth That Has Then Been Polished, Like A Geode.
