Worthy
September 15th, 2020 Aggressively strong people change the world with force, fashion and rarely any grace. Saints, conversely, change it with seeds. They plant them using compassion, empathy and quiet courage. When a true saint meets any person — big or small, great or meek, no matter the past, in spite of appearance — theyContinue reading “Worthy”
Lovefool
September 14th, 2020 Our universe is full of systems that help us in the suffering of being human, and only a fool would discount a single one.

It’s Evolving!

My Unsolicited Writers-On-Writing Three-Pack; or, a glimpse into what makes me tick as a human who writes.
August 23rd, 2020 1. On Writing, Stephen King. Stephen King has been teaching me how to write my whole life. Through his novels (my first was Cujo, a book he thinks is good, but apparently does not entirely remember writing), his adapted work, his interviews, his magazine essays, his Twitter account — dude and hisContinue reading “My Unsolicited Writers-On-Writing Three-Pack; or, a glimpse into what makes me tick as a human who writes.”
