This Woodsworth quatrain appearing in wordsmith.org reminded me of the discussion of creativity. I appologize to Mr. Wordsworth for using his verse to launch a small piece myself and acknowledge his inspiration.

High is our calling, Friend! Creative Art
(Whether the instrument of words she use,
Or pencil pregnant with ethereal hues,
Demands the service of a mind and heart.

--William Wordsworth, poet (1770-1850)

No higher calling than a Word to wield
(Whether the tongue be our sharpened tool,
Or the Internet's e-molecule),
Placed artfully in the harvest field.
