No one lives or writes in a vacuum. One writes from within their present reality, forged from past experiences, molded and shaped in ways that create the current experience. From these experiences, he writes. But there is also an overarching, encompassing foundation to his understanding of his life’s meaning. “All things work together for (his) good,” regardless of whether he has the stamina to rise to believe this. Sometimes his need for strength to believe is his greatest weakness. In this experience, he finds it nearly impossible to write and focuses instead on staring into vast beauty, where he always finds God and His good working for him.
