A piece I wrote for the Narrative Arc a couple of years ago. The Internet reinforces the idea that we can become experts, simply by imitating How-To experts and influencers. But it takes time, and LOTS of ROTE REPETITION to become a MASTER at your art or craft. Enjoy. medium.com/the-narrativ...

Think about what these words actually mean:

"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
from "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus
