Like all blogs, the content on Anselm’s Quest comes from the love and work of individual creators. There is an emotional investment in it, as well as the time and effort of creating it. Making it available through this blog is an act of sharing, a generous impulse. Please accept my thanks for respecting all intellectual property rights associated with this content.
To those who just want to share something that touches them in a positive way, simply send your friends a link to the relevant post or article. For allowable wider use, please read the Permissions and Terms of Use policies below. If privacy is a concern, you will also find the Privacy Policy below.
To those who are tempted to profit from someone else’s work rather than do their own, please think again.

Permissions and Terms of Use policies are provided below. (Legal clarity makes for dry reading, and I apologize if the text seems unfriendly.)
