If we are indeed created in God's image, then we, too, must create and then we, too, must rest.

I love lighting Shabbat candles at the onset of Shabbat. It helps me create a strong and firm demarcation of time.

If people are not safe, they will not make themselves vulnerable. If they feel too comfortable, they can become complacent or lose their curiosity. They can become intellectually lazy about what matters most.

For some reason, I write about crash-landed spaceships quite a lot and my wife is sick of hearing of hearing my ideas for new tales about them.

I love space opera, and I believe that every sub-genre has potential no matter how old it is.

In fact, because I am very time conscious and want to make the most of every moment, I make it a practice to remove my watch before I light the candles as if to suggest that for this brief period, my life must transcend time.
