With a little help from my buddy, I wanted to make sure that everyone knew that the Online Book Club will be reading “Mad Church Disease” by Anne Jackson this month. Of course you know the Book Club isn’t really a club at all and is open to anyone at any time.

Stand at the Door

This is one of our all-time favorite poems. I just included the first and last verses, but it is so wonderful. It perfectly captures why we do what we do.  
 
I Stand by the Door 
by Sam Shoemaker

 

I stand by the door. 
I neither go too far in, nor stay too far out, 
The door is the most important [...]
