Excellent post Lynn! Your command of language matched with passion is unparalleled.

And lest us not forget.

The seekers that preceded you and havent had chance you have had...and those that educated them.

and others I may have missed - which there definitely are.

Followed by the current pioneers - the footsteps are getting louder...and louder...

We are all - followers, leaders, seekers and teachers. Followers because someone is leading in front of us - Homer. Leaders because our paths arent well travelled and so, to some degree, we have to etch out our own path. Seekers because learning is neverending...knowledge is not a endpoint and Homers teachings and the relationships are almost endless. And teachers because we have been there - and have scratched our heads the same as those less experienced then us - and we freely give our knowledge to them....without them, we are nothing.

And Lynn, you my friend, are at the top of the food chain with unique characteristics seldom held - passion, knowledge, the ability to communicate and most importantly, the ability to INSPIRE.
