Legend. Icon. Myth. Genius

In the mainstream, popular consciousness, these are common ,descriptive labels of people. They give some value as superlatives, yet are human based as a reflection of the mood ,psyche of the user, in relation to a talented or famous person who is highly esteemed. As an author it is nice to receive these personal accolades, yet I sprinkle the salt of earthy reality on them all. This action adds balance and perspective to the mind. Wise to be a little reserved and detached from the responses of others, or the ego-trip may be grandiose and deluded. I like the philosophy of head in the clouds and feet on the ground as a life principle.
