On Pride and Joy: A letter to George Edward Lewis (1935-2023)
On American Graffiti, hope and the Annunciation
On confusing days and tangled lights
On collared doves and Hildegard of Bingen
On a butter cow and the Transfiguration
On Tobit, bird poo, and silliness
On a dowager baroness and a bargain-bin saint
On a funeral choir and a German nun
On Mr. Park Bench, Mr. Al Capone, and a balm in Gilead
On meteorites, MI6, and Viktor from Chelyabinsk
On Mrs. Mingott, the perfect paragraph, and a hat
On life, liberty, happiness, and love
On an eccentric monk, a Christmas ornament, and O Adonai
On Timothy Q. Mouse and Saint Paul
On golf and guardian angels
On imaginary friends waiting at the airport
On my imaginary friend Diana and what we need
On Vito Corleone, complexity, and holiness
On Gunsmoke and echoes
On "He had it coming" and a tent stake in the head
