    This sounds like a plea for our times from the 13th century to take action and embrace opportunity. John and Alex – you are gifted with your ability to find and put together images and music to enhance the words in your videos. Thank you for the lessons.

    Thanks so much for watching and for your encouragement! I made a few mistakes with transitions (must be the insomnia).
