Why I Write

A brief intro on yours truly and topics of interest.

Together, the COVID pandemic, the murder of George Floyd, and the seemingly irreconcilable differences of political parties have propelled me to engage more in the world and follow a long simmering desire to write.

My tactic is to take a personal angle, mine or someone else’s, on a contentious topic and acknowledge it. We’re so often talking past each other. I want to address what I hear, and I’d like to bring the temperature down. Sometimes, though, it requires confrontation. But always, the goal is to convince that there is another way.

I like a variety of voices and quality. I don’t follow people who publish daily and I won’t fill up your feed. I try to publish twice a week. My writing falls in three general areas of interest:

• Politics, Social Issues, Economics, and Mental Health - list
• Mindfulness, Yoga, Eastern Philosophy, and the Spirit - list
• Men’s Issues, Masculinity, and Relationship at Animated Man
