Greetings Zakee! Indeed, I find your writings inspirational. I hope to develop a style of my own that is similarly transparent and self-reflective. I was scheduled to read for the first time at open mic but alas, illness kept me quarantined.
I find the pursuit of happiness overrated. What I seek to live is a life of purpose and meaning. I’ll share with you a quote from Annie Dillard that I took the liberty to modify:
“Dedicate, donate, give all your life to something larger than yourself. To the largest thing you can: to God, to relieving suffering, to contributing to knowledge, to adding to literature, or something else. [Meaning] lies this way and it beats [fleeting happiness] hollow.”
May the new year bring you peace and good health, Alestra
Hi Rob, I'm not on BTB as much since we are doing GTL so just saw this. :) Please know I'm happy to know you and to call you a friend. You are also an amazing person and I've learned so much from you! And thanks for all the insight on T, it does help a lot. We'll talk soon, my friend... j.
Dad, I'm so sorry there's been a delay in writing to you directly. Trust me there's a lot I want to share with you. Im going to get on it ASAP. Replying through these blog posts is the easiest way for me to communicate with you for now.
Thank you for sharing that baby pic of me. I didn't think I'd ever see that picture again.
I'll my best to reach out to the family members you've mentioned.
I did want to share this with you. In your first letter you thanked me for "letting the light of God shine through you." That line resonated. The very next day I get invited to a church my neighbor goes to, and it's called "Shining Light Church" and I thought, this can't be a coincidence.
I'm proud to be your son, and proud to be a Field. Happy Holidays, Dad. Take care.
Awesome Poem you can see what it's like from God's point of view. Follow through with the Lord and he shall guide you away from evil and towards good. Happy Holidays!
Thanks for writing! I've started on the transcription for your post, which I really enjoyed, by the way. You write very well. The Trump comics you included had me laughing out loud!
Also, I checked out your profile. Thanks for including the photos! You look great.
Daniel, I am writing a book about prisons and how they can be made better. I might be able to use one of your blog posts, probably the one from 2013 on Mindfulness. I will need your person to do this. How can I contact you? I am at glenn@cheneybooks.com or Glenn Cheney, P.O. Box 284, Hanover, CT 06350.
There is no money involved, but i can send you a few copies o;f the book.
