Art imitates life.
"Veteran in a New Field" - Winslow Homer, 1865
Purpose matters. Leaving war behind (coat and canteen, bottom right), the veteran moves forward with an abundant harvest. The scythe, the Grim Reaper's death instrument, becomes the hero's tool for prosperity. What must we leave behind and carry ahead?
Legend has it that a young Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali) saved money to buy a blue bicycle in Louisville. Within a week, someone had stolen it. When he stepped into the ring, he vowed to 'whup' the person he felt had stolen his bike. He brought purpose into the ring.
Without FEAR, there is no courage. Without ANXIETY, we cannot know peace. Without a CHALLENGE, we cannot overcome. Without knowing EXCELLENCE, what standard do we pursue?
