Sources of Inspiration: Pain

I’m feeling a lot of physical pain now; an ache in my joints, an itching soreness in my feet. Perhaps these are the natural results of age or having too much weight upon me.  It’s hard to talk about these things or even write about them. I feel like I’m whining, depressing everyone I discuss my pain with, including myself.  My inclination is to make a joke about my pain, to try to laugh about it with other people. It’s a lot better than being laughed at. For there’s fear at the heart of my jest; fear that my pain … Read more

My Well-Worn Copy Of Wilde’s Short-Stories. Snacking With Panthers; The Short-Stories Of Oscar Wilde by Jeff Baker One of my very favorite short stories is Oscar Wilde’s “The Selfish Giant,” which I read as a children’s book in about third grade. The book included most of the text and the story was definitely there. I have since re-read the original many times and it was a few years later (also in Grade School, during those blissful days when a month stretched on for half a year) that I read Wilde’s famous novella “The Canterville Ghost.” That starts off as a … Read more
