“People believe what they want to believe so we have to find ways to change the DESIRE to believe!”

“Mr. William Shakespeare” is an idol, and most of us, through loyalty, habit, fear or love, are very protective of our idols.

I say, leave him alone.

Edward Oxenford (as he signed himself) left us a life story of mythic proportions. Orphan, wanderer, warrior, martyr: once you know his story by heart, you can begin enchanting others with it. That’s where I start. Not with saying, “he was Hamlet”, or “he put himself in Hamlet” but “here’s why the earl of Oxford would have really understood Hamlet”.

Lead the horse to the water…

Seeing the photos makes me doubly sorry to have missed this year’s conference. Thanks, Linda, for the snapshot view.
