An Introduction
"Spit and vinegar" is an expression my dad used with alacrity. “Spit and vinegar” meant everything from having a little spunk or a little fun, to taking a stand for yourself or someone else. He (my dad, Joe Perron), was a gentleman farmer, a nonjudgmental, fun-loving, polka dancing charmer and ladies man. He died in January 2007 and, since moving just a tad beyond the unexpectedly overwhelming grief of his loss, I've been finding (mainly by accident), my own spit and vinegar. Creation is always going to look a lot more like chaos than serenity.
That's a line from my first blog, Opening the Conversation. Hope you'll take a look at it and visit back.
I’m a “spiritual” writer (by genre and content) with nothing against spirituality but with an understanding of what spirituality is that is more personal and social than it was when I started out. I’ve pretty much always written on matters of the heart and I get acquainted with some of those in solitude and some in the chaos of family life and living in the world. Since I can’t make the division anymore – you know the kind – heart matters over here/practical matters over there; secular matters here/spiritual matters there, I’ve found myself here, where I can express it all.
Writings I’ve published: Two books of The Grace Trilogy, A Course of Love, The Treatises of A Course of Love, The Dialogues of A Course of Love, (www.acourseoflove.com), The Given Self, O Books, www.thegivenself.com.
