RE: Going-to-the-Sun

We all hope that what we say, what we write, means something. Otherwise, why bother. So, there is a message to any writing worth doing. However, one hopes the author doesn't use bright red neon signs pointing to that message. How tedious, and not really art.

Art is conveying a message without telling us what it is, without preaching. That's what your meandering does. It leads us gently to where you want us to be, where you want the character to land. In life, that is never by a straight path. Your tone is perfect for this piece. The man learns from life, from experience. That takes time, and insight.
