countrydirt,

 

Glad to see you posting again. And what a great example of Cursive Italic. The pen is excellent, like the ink.

 

Enjoy,

Yours,
Randal

From a person's actions, we may infer attitudes, beliefs, --- and values. We do not know these characteristics outright. The human dichotomies of trust and distrust, honor and duplicity, love and hate --- all depend on internal states we cannot directly experience. Isn't this what adds zest to our life?

Here's one from a book that I enjoyed with my young daughter.

 

Stories are light. Light is precious in a world so dark. Begin at the beginning. Tell Gregory a story. Make some light.

 

The Tale of Despereaux

By Kate DiCamillo

"It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop."

 

"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it."

Lovely work on the DiCamillo quote, David. The majuscules are almost lyrical.

The majiscules of the later portion demonstrate the perils of me making up letterforms on the spot,
