This I speak into the Universe:
My book will be published well. It will be beautiful. It will be read. And readers will love it, enjoy it, and talk about it to others.

What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?
Go ahead and Neville Chamberlain your life. Next, you’ll need Allies to get everyone out of the mess you “Peace at all Cost” yourself into. And all at a very high price.

What’s your definition of romantic?
Walking through a meadow and falling in love with all the wildflowers.
Joyful moments, together.
Details, remembered.
Slow boatrides along a languid river.
Long days in sunny places.
Poetry, wine, and candlelight.

What makes a teacher great?
Teaching is like stand-up, except the audience can’t leave.
A good teacher listens to what is not being said.
A good teacher is a tour guide to the world, with niche interests.
A good teacher knows their subject so well, they can admit to their own ignorance.
A good teacher remembers their students are young humans growing, learning, developing.
A good teacher understands that being liked and being respected are two different things. And that liked and respected often overlap in the best of them.
