Langston Hughes

 Here's a thoughtful post about one of my favorite poets, Langston Hughes.

One Language ...

 ... is never enough.

I know a few words of Cherokee, rather more Lakota, and a smattering of, well, every other language I've ever so much as brushed against.  But I make a point of using my favorites, even if I only know a handful of words.  They are touchstones in my mind, access points for cultures.  They make me happy.  I like to encourage languages however I can.

Crafts

See the Coruscant Tapestry, illustrating the Star Wars saga.

What they should really be selling is the pattern for it.
