"Creativity arises out of the tension between spontaneity and limitations, the latter (like the river banks) forcing the spontaneity into the various forms which are essential to the work of art or poem."
-- Rollo May
I work as a night shift paramedic and have spent much of my adult life working in some form of public service or another. I like reading; favorite subjects include history, theology, a little philosophy, and any fiction that keeps my attention. I also dabble a little with beekeeping and worm composting. I don't do any professional writing, just some small-time blogging. I used to write my own stories when I was a child, but for some reason I quit as I got older. My revived interest in writing short stories and a little free-form poetry brought me to this site.
