When I was working, I learned that there were two truths. Real world “truth” and courtroom “truth” and never would the two meet. Truth should never be confused facts as truth is often based on perspective, knowledge and life experiences. We should always be wary of those who bang the drums of truth.

Your mention of Real World Truth and Courtroom Truth reminded me of a conversation I had with a long time Legislative attorney years ago.

He told me that he could never be convicted of a serious crime. When I asked him why he believed that, he said that it was because he had written all of the criminal laws in our State for the past 30+ years, and would therefore know every possible way out.

Solid prose on both accounts. Not quite outside the circumscription of the Compasses, lol.

I feel these could be snapshots within a larger story of one's Masonic journey.

I've never met her, but my understanding is that she's a lot of fun!

Seriously though, I've always found the myths about the muses fascinating. How exactly did they inspire greatness in the arts?

I haved lived a few situations like this, bravo to you Sir, for knowing the difference betwixt a cable tow and cable chain. I am currently writing a novel that starts with a man eating a salad. "No great story ever started with a man eating a salad" is often said. "Wanna bet" says I.
