A Revision Update, and Revisiting Obsessions of Old IV

A Revision Update:

My teaching responsibilities required all of my energy and attention this week. Nevertheless, I am not complaining as the work I perform in the classroom is my small grain of sand in helping to shape the future. In any event, the summer vacation is just around the corner and I intend to make up a lot of ground in rewriting The Saint of Santa Fe then. Still, I was able to move forward one chapter and I’m now working on Chapters 30-32.

An Invitation to Revisit a Posting:

There are moments in our lives that help define who we become. I’ve been blessed with several such markers. With regard to my desire to write—and be read—I’m able to trace this back to the day I was introduced to the poetry of Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer.

You can read about this luminous event in my existence in “Origins of a Dream.”
