The Journey I started 291 over twenty years ago when I sat at the piano, where the light was good and read about an amazing place where modern art was first shown and nurtured in America.

A year later I finally finished the rewrite and it just rings true. I never did hear back from his friend and I wondered if that's how the story ends. But, once upon a time in the land of enchantment...
