you know what's beautiful about all of us writing from the corners of our rooms on our Target desks? for better or worse, there's a tapestry being sewn together by the thread of our words. always saying, come and listen (thanks for reminding me of one of my favorite Crowder albums :)

and that my friend, is pretty wonderful.

Happy Easter! and as another fellow writer reminded me, may you have "champagne for breakfast" (as N.T. Wright says), this Sunday.

I enjoyed reading this but as regards being alone in life and the loneliness v. solitude conundrum,I can't help always having the words of Kris Kristofferson slip into my mind,"Nothing ain't worth nothing but it's free". I've always felt that way.

Love these quotes and your reflections on them! Do you have a system for capturing and organizing quotes? I keep an epigraph journal but I always love to hear what other writers do!

This was a wonderful piece Drew. I loved jumping around from topic to topic and piecing it all together to see the tapestry of your experiences.

Always enjoy the essay, Drew.

Just wanted to say that I really liked that you included your current lists at the end. I’m listening to an oldie, but a goodie, “All Creatures,” by Kings Kaleidoscope and I’m currently reading “Just Mercy,” by Bryan Stevenson.
