Cooperstown

It matters not where one lives. One can be crass, anti-intellectual and disinterested in anything beyond personal pursuit of pleasure and the vain chasing after social trappings and rankings in Harvard professorial lounges, in the salons of New York and Washington, DC. One can find, happiness, fulfillment and bliss while working in the oil fields south of Dickinson, North Dakota. Any human, anywhere, under any circumstances, can rise above her natural state an actualize her creative potential in fabulous ways. Human potential and talent on tap, when unleashed and directed by the self with humor, spark, imagination, hard work and discipline, is almost without limit or predictability. This release of inner potential is controlled by any person with the guts, will, vision and self-insistence to see it done. That person can live in Cooperstown, North Dakota or in Manhattan. It is not where we live, but how we intend to live that provides us with something important and meaningful to do no matter where we reside.
