Never More Beautiful
I come back to this talk over and over again.
Working on my forty-one things today, knocking down gods gone rampant and looking for the way through with invisible acts of compassion. How about you?

Thanks for another needed boost.
My birthday is coming up in December. I’d best start compiling my list of fifty-one things.

hey jen,
i came here through my friend jeanette.
anyway, thank you SO much for posting Chris Abani. I have not seen or thought about him in such a long time. He was an instructor at my university while i was getting my mfa. his presence was 9and is0 majestic. his spirit so large and booming and careful and rooted…i just loved being in the same room as him.
you share such wonderment.

A beautiful blog… full of what I call wild resiliency. Thanks for turning me onto Chris Abani’s TED talk, and for the love, trust and compassion you inspire in your writing.
