Where Art Meets Authenticity

Fair warning: This isn’t a place for the prudish. Here we dive deep and uncensored into sensuality, curiosity, intimacy and freedom—and the courage it takes to live authentically. If you’re looking for safe, sanitized perspectives and art, you’ll find richer hunting grounds elsewhere. But if you’re hungry for real talk about what it means to be human—body, mind, soul, and spirit—pull up a chair.

  • The Friend That I Married (For Gina, on our Fifteenth Anniversary)

    Thirty-three years ago, you chaired the personnel committee that hired me at that Florida mega-church. You raced me down mountains in Montana with your knees bent and your poles tucked, laughing the whole way, and it felt like you were the sister I never had. We sang together on stage, in cars and kitchens, and…

  • Apocalypse v Immortality

    Reading the headlines about the end of the world by the end of the decade definitely gives me pause about the dangers of Artificial Intelligence. Most of our politicians have no clue, with the rare exceptions of the venerable, ever-young Bernie Sanders and the well-read former President Obama. Trump and his sycophants are evidently choosing…

  • Fifty Shades of Randy

    The idea for this post with its double-entendre title came from a recent review of my erotic gothic novel, The Mysteries of Barcelona (TMB). Jing now lives in Barcelona and is originally from Sichuan province of China. She is in her mid-twenties and one of the smartest and wittiest people I have ever known. We met in…
