“… some dim dazzling trick of grace …”

It is impossible to say why he is here. Is it part and parcel of the complex business of coming up in the world? Or is it because he believes that God himself is present here at the corner of Elysian Fields and Bons Enfants? Or is he here for both reasons: through some dim dazzling trick of grace, coming for the one and receiving the other as God’s own importunate bonus? It is impossible to say.

Last remaining privately held “Scream” coming up for auction. Let’s all pool our resources. I’ve got $10 and this cool-looking rock…

“I remember asking him, ‘How do you do what you do? You wake up, you shower and you shave, and do you sit at your desk and say, “I’m going to write a chapter today? I’m going to do 10 pages? 100 pages?”’
“He looked at me without batting an eye and said, ‘How do you do what you do?’ Enough said.”

Hearing from Ellen encouraged me to read some of her articles. This article on self publishing is really good. We were discussing Distributism in the Libertarian post below. I think self publishing through Amazon is a good example of it. It is worth reading.
