I'm happy to be a writer - of prose, poetry, every kind of writing. Every person in the world who isn't a recluse, hermit or mute uses words. I know of no other art form that we always use.

Lord keep Your arm around my shoulder and Your hand over my mouth.

You want me to do something... tell me I can't do it.

I make writing as much a part of my life as I do eating or listening to music.

I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life'.

Listen to some good poetry. You see? It keeps us from thinking we are only what our blatant appetites describe us as.

All knowledge is spendable currency, depending on the market.
