Tom Robbins is and has long been one of my favorite writers. The recent article from Rainshadow Journal (http://www.rainshadownorthwest.com) by Fred Obee, May 9, 2022) is the story of a commencement address he gave in 1974. I love it, especially the current update on Robbins’ thoughts about it 48 years later, at age 90. He is the writer who never grew up, who uses language like a game of tag, with a mix of strategy and madcap running down a steep hill.

Life continues as busy and chaotic as always: multiple projects at many levels of completion. We pray for rain. We study the cliffs overhead for birds of prey (and find hidden monsters). We raise a puppy. We have welcome visitors, human and other. All is good.
