Tried to send you a message on Twitter but it wouldn't let me so I'll share it here: stumbled upon your writing there, it's fantastic, I want to write like you when I grow up.
I am 100% in this camp. "But we cannot rule out that perhaps it is the literal handprint of God on my soul calling me towards a higher purpose, transcending all logic and reason. I’m fascinated at how we tend to naturally be good at what we’re most passionate about." In fact, not only can we not rule this out, I actually think it's the operative frame far more than we think. God, what would the world be like if more people trusted this was so and had the courage to act upon it? That's a world I'd like to see and contribute to its existence.
“And you will continue to venture out into the desert, over and over, fighting random dudes just to get to God, because some things are worth bleeding for. “ Hell yeah, man.
Your way with the written word makes me uncomfortable to even try to convince myself that I'm a fellow writer. I laughed out loud at your Oxford comma fandom line!
"Writing is like stumbling upon God in the desert.
Some days, it won’t be God. It will be a random dude who beats the crap out of you; a total creative dead-end." -- Spectacular. (I somehow had missed this piece)
You built a beautiful piece out of the stones we were only skipping off the surface of ideas earlier this week. That Jack London quote tied it all together well and brought me back to walking the streets of the Oakland neighborhood that bears his name, and that little cabin where he wrote just north of the bay.
This is phenomenal.

I’m fired up!
Loved this one, Grace.
So good. Loved this one, Grace.

Yes even computer scientists have their muse.

Keep wrestling in the wilderness.
