My father was a writer. He wrote all of his life, inflicting upon many of us his novels, plays, articles, essays, and self-help books. Some were marvelous; some merely well-intentioned. But of all the things he wrote, his journal is his legacy: by turns wise and bewildering, it neared 1,100 type-written pages when he died in 2010. Although perused many times, this is the first time it will be read - cover to cover, page after page.

Being A Prophet
To be a prophet is to tear the fabric of which we are a part and to say what cannot willingly be heard by those we love. It is a task that should be reluctantly assumed. To want to pursue the role is to not understand its implications. To volunteer is to raise the suspicion of falseness, or foolishness
