I’m sitting at home in southwest Florida where winter dusk is falling. My husband and I are starting blogs together, he with his PC desktop and I with my Macintosh PowerBook. The sky whitens and the water in the canal is glassy smooth, reflecting the houses and lawns.
I am unpublished, mostly. I’ve read poetry and brought a few pieces to print in college literary magazines and off-beat “send us your poems” publications. I even won a prize once. Maybe I’ll start posting poetry here, but mostly I intend this site for prose.
As an essayist, possibly an eventual book writer, I want to address spiritual issues from the viewpoint of an iconoclastic Christian–a faithful heretic. I’m interested in sharing those views and hearing other people’s comments on their ideas and experiences as they compare to mine. I’m widely read enough that I know my viewpoint isn’t especially unique. Heck, TNT’s Saving Grace espouses much the same theology as mine. But my thinking is informed, like everyone’s by my own particular combination of encounters, upbringing and insights. And I’ve thought long and hard about these issues.
I’m also interested in politics, presently in peace. So one category will reflect those thoughts. I hope to “meet” many of “you” over the coming months. I intend–have resolved–in this new year to become a public voice.
Shalom,
