Don,

Your art is beautiful. Please do not call them attempts. You are without doubt world class. Your work is both inspired AND inspirational. If you are off the 'air' for a bit, that's cool. But please don't think of being off the air forever. NO WAY to that. You be a bit down right now, bro, but a new day will dawn and the sun WILL shine. This world would be one sorry-ass place without the likes of da Vinci, Monet, Rodin, Beethoven, Mozart, Guthrie, Dylan. You are in their league, IMO. Remember that.
