I really like this piece. I understand where you are coming from and feel the same way about the way the world causes us over time to become rigid and makes us lose our playful childlike nature all in the name of progress and profit. I am 42 and still am bored at the dry lifeless ways that some have given into. Keep on writing and don't lose that free spirit. Excellent work!
Very clever and entertaining story Steve. I made me laugh. I love the absurdity of the story since the concept of getting children to believe in a gift giving fat man is absurd itself. I also love your Bio and its honesty. Keep on writing Steve. Maybe you can elabarate on the Easter Bunny next.
Very moving words that remind me of the sacrifices made for our freedom, especially when these days it is taken for granted. I love to hear stories honoring the individual stories of the countless men and women who have given themselves and endured sufferings that we will never know. Thanks for sharing the memory of your father and may we always honor those who have served.
The story makes me realize that our relationship with our parents is not perfect especially when we compare it to other ones. Each are unique and the love rises above all. Even in your high level job the simple yet irreplaceable relationship with your mother is priceless. The story is heeart warming and reminds again that it is the simple things in life that are important.
Wow! I am first impressed by the way the story cuts through the surface to the very core. These feelings many times ignored or denied are a very real part of us and you bravely confront as they truly are.
I can relate to the lustful desires that sometimes overcome the spirit. A sharp look into the realm of human nature. A very stirring peace. Do the world a favor and write more. Summa Excellente!
A refreshingly caring look into the selfish state of mind that this hectic world pushes us to if we allow it. I liked how the author looked at these others with a compassionate eye, understanding and extending her/his heart and hand instead of quickly condemning them.
very heartfelt story. I especially liked the part where the two drunk girls seemed to think it was strange that she was just looking at the stars and not doing what she 'should' be doing.
Good look at a girl of deeper thought than the mindless masses who never dare to look below the surface. Two thumbs up! That Journey song is great.... Write on!!!.........
Great twist on the easy view of Barrabas of being nothing more than a worthless criminal. It cuts to the very heart of the depths of forgivness that Jesus endeared.
