Creative Writing Blog

Hold on for the ride...

“The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe.” The quote is attributed (or misattributed, as the case may be) to Albert Einstein, but whether he said it or not, it’s a fascinating concept. For me, the choice is clear. The universe IS friendly, and this blog is where I post fiction and poetry that seeks to entertain while asking you to dip your toes into the pool of life and its mysteries.
