“Reverence, rhyme and reason….
from a quotidian Christian”

Discourse. Whatever that has become, there is no disagreement regarding its present state. PES, through short stories, essays, and poetry, attempts to reset the parameters of conversation. Not by dictating new rules, nor by pushing an agenda, much in the way “alternative facts and theories” have brought a “dis” to today’s discourse, creating interactions that are little more than “group speak” which will invariably illicit “group response”. PES proports to create a lane through the mountain of confefe, bogus theory, and “secondary reality”, a lane that offers clarity, if not absolute truth. PES should be in every bathroom in America, a place where the mind can be free from all the distraction and madness we all live with today. Though there will be some who think of PES as the paper that is on the roll, for others, my hope is that PES may open the hearts of some to revisit the understandings they accept as real, and possibly, just maybe, even put some of the madness in the place where it belongs, followed by a good flush.
