The Da VINCI CODE'S CHALLENGE TO MANKIND

                           WHO IS JESUS REALLY?

I believe that fictional works like the Da Vinci Code serve an important purpose. They stir people to think,  stretch their imaginations, dare as Socrates did to challenge the youth of Athens to question all first assumptions. I think there is much merit in considering the implications for mankind if Jesus - add into the mix Mohammed, Allah, etc - is just a plain human being who caught the public imagination.

ON PUBLISHING A MEMOIR

ON WRITING, PUBLISHING and MARKETING YOUR MEMOIR

                                     POST # 19

This last patch of time since post #18 has been an emotional roller coaster. I have been totally committed to publishing my memoir - thirty five years in the making - tentatively called: MY ODYSSEY: TREATING DRUG ADDICTS IN THE SIXTIES and WHAT I LEARNED ABOUT MYSELF.

REFLECTIONS ON VIEWING MY SECOND MUNCH EXHIBIT

                 AN ARTIST'S ARTIST      

                     

I remember being stunned when I went to see the first Munch retrospective in New York City probably over twenty years ago. In those days I was thoroughly identified with the themes of his content perhaps best described as pictorially exploring "the modern life of the soul."
