Project Update – August 2024
Summer is almost over. We’re finally in the back half of the year. I’d say put on your cozy sweaters, but honestly, it’s still been pretty warm here. Plus, from what I hear, there may yet be some crazy tropical development until the end of hurricane season. Guess we’ll just have to see what happens!…

Vivekananda – Pt 2
I’m not going to insert a long introduction on this one as it’s already a very long post. To catch up with where we’re at, I definitely recommend reading Part One as it covers Narendra’s childhood and early education. Last we left off, we were beginning to discuss the two “factions” that were competing for…

Rebuilder – Part 3
“Come on, Will,” Charlie complains as he stretches out on the saggy old couch. “You’ve been stuck in here so long even your couch is giving up on you.” The other three boys in the room laugh to themselves, but Will’s expression stays sour. “I just don’t want to go, Charlie. It isn’t the same.”…

Originator – Part 3
The two of them take their seats across from one another on the open-air patio of an up-scale restaurant in the suburbs. Santi had insisted on the treat. Paolo had wanted to refuse, once again feeling like a charity case. Then again, after his conversation with Jake, Paolo was unsure when he didn’t feel that…

Vivekananda – Part 1
Welcome to the fantastical tale of Swami Vivekananda! I don’t mean that as a joke or to sound flippant. If there’s one thing that I’ve learned about Vivekananda, it’s that all of the biographies about him make him out to be akin to a God. Which isn’t an accident. It’s done very purposefully. Before I…

Fighter – Part 3
The truck cabin is silent, save for the engine and road noises as the two boys head off into the night. Charlie leans his head against the passenger window, watching as subdivisions pop in and out of existence between the trees. A few bear faded vinyl signs on their fences, flapping in the wind, promoting…
