A Few Whiffs of Something New

Leo Tolstoy, Jon J. Muth and a story that has been in the making for about 10 months are starting to come together. This one feels like a gift.

A foretaste for now from a book of poems given to me during childhood by my mother...it comes from a larger body of work entitled "What Men Live By":

"I knew before that God gives life to men, and desires them to live; but now I know far more. I know that God does not desire men to live apart from each other, and therefore has not revealed to them what is needful for each of them to live by himself. He wishes them to live together united, and therefore has revealed to them that they are needful to each other's happiness."-Leo Tolstoy
