a time to grieve; a time to dance

Have you ever found a glistening coin on the bed of a flowing stream? You point at it but your friend isn't quite able to see it. Or maybe your friend is pointing at something at a short distance and, for all your neck-craning, you can't quite see what it is.

This blog is exactly that. This is me pointing at something that I know is there and hope you'd see, too. Whether it's at a golden mask at the bottom of the well or an eagle soaring high in the sky, I wish you Happy Looking!

The books I read this year

I wanted to list the books I read this year. So far, these are books I've read before. It's January. I'm putting toe to water before I plunge into reading books I haven't read before.

So, in chronological order of how I read them, my list is:

Writing down the bones, by Natalie Goldberg, nonfiction
Wild Mind: Living the writer's life, by Natalie Goldberg, nonfiction
The unpleasant profession of Jonathan Hoag, by Robert A. Heinlein, fiction
Ecclesiastes, Old Testament, nonfiction
Thunder and lightning: Cracking open the writer's craft: by Natalie Goldberg, nonfiction
Magic, Inc., by Robert A. Heinlein, fiction
And he built a crooked house, by Robert A. Heinlein, fiction

I am currently reading:

Job, Old Testament, poetry
The diary of a professional experiencer, by Eric Morris, nonfiction
Freeing the actor, by Eric Morris, nonfiction

I am looking forward to reading:


The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien, fiction
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, by J.R.R. Tolkien

My life will be meaningless if I don't pass on three things to the next generation; a tragedy if I don't pass on four. One, my love for literature and reading. Two, my love for honesty and writing. Three, my love for truth and the theater. And the fourth, most important of all: God's love.
