That darn aura. Saints and their toenails.

I'm curious how many of us (on this list) are genuinely free from any
desire to attain for ourselves this aura. Some of the rhetoric that flies
would be consistent with a claim to be liberated from it.

Not me ~ the sooner someone wants to pay enough for my "art" that I can
survive off it, the better. And the better the income, the easier many
things will be for me.

I'm sure many of us saw "Rivers and Tides" ~ independent of anything else
I was impressed by AG's house, custom slide cabinets, etc.
