With all my whining abt this book project, I measured real progress. In Oct, I netted 18 pages total. This month, I’m at 30 halfway thru. It may not feel triumphant, but we gotta celebrate any victory. (Does the pony across the living room….) #WritingTips #Memoir #WritingLife
Glorious lit'rary & spiritual convo with Antonio Spadaro today, great Jesuit writer (who heads the Vatican's ministry of culture & education). He lit up my humble abode. Who knew? 🙌🏻
Once again my friend Mosab Abu Toha pens an unforgettable piece about living w his kids & fam in an expanding bomb site. Jesus wept. I🙏 for mercy.
The The New Yorker’s David Remnick reported from Israel, ending with a quote from our friend Mosab Abu Toha. A peerless article in an awful time. Pray for peace. 🙏🏻

‘Ts a joy to announce that dear Mosab Abu Toha (gr8 poet in Gaza) & his fam of stellar human beings are alive. But their four-story house is rubble. Luckily, they were in a camp sans water, fuel, cell service. As our friend David said, ‘Incredibly, this counts as good news.’
My friend Mosab Abu Toha in Gaza facing death every second w/ neither food nor water nor power nor cell service plus nowhere to run. Please read The New Yorker piece about life in an open air prison when the jailers can bomb your family…..
