Learning/reading/story telling/ are the mustard seed of knowledge. The seed may sit dormant for years, but when it is sowed, only time will tell what it will produce. Your work is Nobel!
And that is how I have come to realize - and move forward from - the frustrations of my vocation: seeds planted; some come to fruition; some do not.
I am immensely humbled by your compliment. ThanQ.
