Daily Horror
We have a sense of what is right and feels safe, even pleasant, but this rarely inspires stories. The root of religious story is horror, those moments when we are made to understand that the world isn’t human hearted, that granny can have hurtful intentions, and that the minister might be willing to force himself…

Trust Humanity
What civility comes down to is faith. What will you trust? If you trust nothing, do you love anything? If you love no part of your life, are you living? You have to trust in something or you won’t survive, at least in yourself. Actually, you have to trust humanity. Recent research has exposed some…
