Join the Vesperisms Book Club!
ONLY 3 DAYS LEFT TO REGISTER—CLOSES 6/30/22!
This is going to be like no other book club—the chance to walk through the book with the author!
Starting July 7 and for the next four Thursdays (14, 21 and 28), we will read my first novel, What the Night Sings, together. Since Berliners is actually a spinoff of WTNS, I want you all to get ready to read the new book in its historical context.

quote
“The more I love humanity in general the less I love man in particular. In my dreams, I often make plans for the service of humanity, and perhaps I might actually face crucifixion if it were suddenly necessary. Yet I am incapable of living in the same room with anyone for two days together. I know from experience. As soon as anyone is near me, his personality disturbs me and restricts my freedom. In twenty-four hours I begin to hate the best of men: one because he’s too long over his dinner, another because he has a cold and keeps on blowing his nose. I become hostile to people the moment they come close to me. But it has always happened that the more I hate men individually the more I love humanity.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky |

“When all is stripped away, who am I? Even if our abilities are diminished or removed from us, there are deeper gifts we can give. We can love others with our very selves.”

“They tear the bread into tiny pieces and roll them between their fingers into fine crumbs, tossing them to the peeping birds. Amazing, to have a piece of bread to share with birds. The man is a millionaire.”

“I play viola... but I'm really a singer."
"That's not really what you are," she says frankly.
Her directness startles me. "What do you mean?"
It maybe what you do. But even a voice can be taken from you.”

“Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement. ....get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.”

“The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either -- but right through every human heart -- and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained”
