Read More...Live by the Logo…
It’s rare that we are inspired by a political figure, but this last week it happened. It wasn’t a particular policy proposal that moved us. It wasn’t a passage of rhetoric–the use of language to persuade, exhort, and motivate–that caused the light to flick on within us and suddenly illuminate the landscape before our feet.
