Prayers for Rain

It is time. It is time to take up the mantle of the writer again. It has been so long, too long, since I have written, since the nymph of Creativity has touched my spirit. But it mustn't be a passi...

A Brief Vignette

Everyone writes memoirs, it seems, nowadays. Even the owners of brothels. Everyone thinks they have some story to share. My ten year old nephew is already writing about how awesome it is to be him. As...

Rodin and Patriarchy: Experiments in Thought
