This page contains some of the essays I’ve written over the years.  Some of the issues may be outdated, my thoughts and understanding may have changed since they were written, and some of the writing may be downright amateurish.

 

Regardless of all that, I offer them simply as a source of thoughts and ideas.

 

I believe that it isn’t always WHAT is being read that’s important, but what kinds of thoughts and ideas are INSPIRED by what is being read.  I think this is why we should listen to ALL views, even those that disagree with ours.  EVERY considered opinion can contain pearls of wisdom that, quite often, even the author was not aware existed.

 

 

 

“A word of compassion to the weak criminal or prostitute is nobler than the long prayer which we repeat emptily every day in the temple.” – Kahlil Gibran
