We stare into each other's eyes and softly kiss speaking and saying more with the movement of our lips and the tips of our fingers than words will allow us to say. Words can't say this. The one word love means too little for what it is. It means everything and that is still not enough. It doesn't communicate even a fraction of the feelings involved. Love. The word is not enough for what it is. Love. Love.

Love is love. It doesn't matter how or who you love. I don't believe the messiah would condemn gay men and women.

Most of the time, it's not the concept, but the execution of craft that counts.

That's what ever great writer, I believe, has done over the course of time - is they've figured out new ways of telling the same stories.

Trauma is survivable, but often not much more. It kills you while allowing you to still live.

But that's part of faith. Believing and knowing despite what other people say, and despite what the world might think of your beliefs.

When I was a little boy, Marvin Hagler was my idol. He got no respect for most of his career. His fighting style was straight ahead. He took every shot thrown at him, and he kept punching back 'til he won. I honestly feel that's how I am. I take big shots from people. But I keep going.
