About this author

I am a North Dakota (rural Midwest USA) native, writer/musician, currently living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. I've also lived for a considerable time in the Pacific Northwest (USA) and briefly in the Southwest (USA). So I suppose restlessness is a part of my nature. I'm never quite at home anywhere in the world. And that is part of why spirituality is the focus of all my writing. My novel, "Song of George/Portrait of an Unlikely Holy Man" was published with All Things That Matter Press in July, 2010.

Yeah, it's hard to believe it was written by an Englishman really. Uncanny ability to tell sincere and heart breaking stories in such unlikely ways.

Leaning-Good OH, CAT's GoD !!!

How mercy you'll give to me, Jesse!

Me-o!

Leaning-Good O.k, for the great word of Sirio Carappa;
I will go back to my real life,
to sell all belongings
and bring the money from that for the food of starvation around the world;
and go to spend the left time of my nude life in small temples around Thailand :
"No Money No Cry"

[I'm just kidding; thanks for the quote,I like it very much!:]

:D


message 8: by Jesse

Jesse Hanson Yes, i like it. And here's one by Sirio Carappa:
"... they do not possess much, therefore they are not much possessed."

Leaning-Good Thanks for the praise, Jesse.

And for our brand-new friendship,
I'll post a wisdom word [for friend:] below,
hope you'll like it.
