Well said. Your post reminded me of something Thomas Merton said about “bestsellers.” I believe he referred to what sells most with the general public (and loved by advertisers) are works he described using the Latin word, “simulacrum”–superficial, over-inflated, shimmering, attention-grabbing and…monumentally phony. We see that with a lot of books, music and other bestselling works. Thank you for your perspective, shared wisdom and your commitment to your craft. Best, luke
