IMPERFECT PATIENCE

An imperturbable demeanor comes from perfect patience. Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened, but go on in fortune and misfortune at their own private pace like a clock during a thunderstorm.—Robert Louis Stevenson

My Blogger site had over 250k reads when I closed it, but here I am again.

After 40 years of teaching, mostly in public schools, I walk the beach or streets each day for as long as I like. My writing has earned an Oregon Literary Arts Fellowship, Arts & Letters fellowship, Soapstone residency, Pushcart nomination, and publication in journals such as Brevity and the Brevity blog, The MacGuffin, CALYX, Liminal Stories, Work Magazine, Raven Chronicles, Ink Filled Page, The Humanist, and North American Review. An MFA graduate from Pacific University, I live and create in the NW corner of my home state of Oregon.
