I want my work to execute the following:
- Framework: Move between these three realms: cosmic–local–personal (ala Thoreau; see micro then macro).
- Inventiveness and poetry (ala Dillard)
- Simplicity of language (ala Ben Hewitt and Rofel Brion)
- Short vignettes with some photographs (ala Craig Mod)
- Have a surface-level element that it was written outdoors.
- Reflects a genuine and earnest desire to know and understand—not to perform.
- My work is religious in nature.
