About the author
I’m Michael Jay, from Hutchinson Kansas. I am a Seminarian at Earlham School of Religion in Richmond Indiana. In addition to my studies, I occasionally fill the pulpit at small meetings in the area. I freely confess that while I love classwork, I love writing sermons and meeting with fellow worshipers even more.
I am a member of the Religious Society of Friends, also known as Quakers. For me, Quakerism is about being part of community who helps me understand what it means to live life with Jesus, and I pray that I also help the community in the same way as they help me. I understand Quakerism in context of traditional Christianity.
As a young adolescent, I started writing down thoughts in a black notebook that I carried with me. I continued this habit while I filled, emptied, burned and started new notebooks. The original was called by two names: “Deep thoughts”, and “the black notebook full of stuff.” This blog is a digital transcription of that old notebook, along with the others that are extant. (In effect, I was blogging in 1992. Although the notebook was only handwritten notes, it was open to my friends.) These days, I often journal directly on the computer but I still carry a pen and paper with me. The first black notebook sits (with some of the others) on the bottom row of one of my bookshelves.
I love writing, and poetry is especially close to my heart. I hope you enjoy.

The present is such a moving target that all things posted are past. The future is impossible to predict.. anything I put will be the past, or a daydream.
