Not Facebook

There are many things that aren't posted on FB. This is a good thing. Feeling depressed at seeing various profile pics is one.

Can't post about it on a blog either. Not sure I admire people who are able to, though it is delightful that they can readily bare their souls and even make money doing it.

Happy Birthday Mr. Faulkner!

"I decline to accept the end of man."
William Faulkner
Nobel Prize Speech
December 1950

While at Urban High I took a class about Faulkner. I remember getting lost in his books, my understanding of the broader world unfolding. His words sculpt space, voices, lives, places and stories. For years I've wanted to reread those books. Had I known, I would have read them twice.

Youth is wasted on the young.
