This is very strong Brian and much truths are revealed in these two lines. Great job!

Brian, you/he could not be more right - this is a very wose write and nothing but the truth! Hubbub is the perfect word here, as ego is chaos. Truth get's attacked within and without all the time, many truths are hard to catch and hear. excellent! Love, Kristin
