That's just what I do. My only real talent is as a wordsmith. It pays for a fine living for me as a technical writer, and it provides endless amuse- ment for me in my life outside work. My favorite writer in many ways isn't a writer at all. He's a singer/songwriter named Bruce Cockburn. Bruce is a Christian, one of the good ones. His life is without question a spiritual path, and thus his songs are about the spiritual path. But IMO he found a way to do this, to share stories from the spiritual path, in a non-preachy way that is univer- sal, and that appeals to me as a Buddhist as much as it might appeal to fellow Christians. He just writes about his life. He says that his songs are just foot- prints of a life. People are free to react to them any way they want. That's all Road Trip Mind is. A set of footprints, a non-fiction book written by a fictional author. If it has any value at all, it is in inspiring a few people to leave footprints of their own.
