Not Much to Say

I don’t have much to say today. I’m just idling contentedly along.

“If you understand,

things are just as they are;

if you do not understand, things are just as they are.”

— Buddhist proverb

This award-winning, unpublished memoir, A Minor, Unaccompanied, stitches the healing effects of music in Richard Antoine White’s I’m Possible: a story of survival, a tuba, and the small miracle of a big dream (2021) with grooming in Alisson Wood’s Being Lolita (2020) and youth homelessness in Vicki Sokolik’s If You See Them: Young, Unhoused, and Alone in America (2024).
