About Me

I'm a writer in Los Angeles, with more than my share of the struggle to get free. I've written screenplays, two children's books,articles for the New York Times and published a novel, Restraint, an erotic thriller. I have a master's degree from Harvard Divinity School. This blog is a ongoing record of what I've learned, what I'm learning and what I'm still realizing I need to know, as I work my way toward change.

THE JOY OF SURRENDER

I've had for a long time a certain image when I think about surrender. I see myself pulling colorful silk ribbons out of my chest and throwing them up to a sunny sky as I walk along. I haven't exactly understood why this image should represent surrender. But it just occurred to me the image is about joy. Surrender brings joy. Joy comes with surrender.
