OF REMBRANDT: “… this man carries a wound, and he knows it. It is the wound that comes from having given your all to a chosen path, indeed to life itself. And more, it is the wound that comes with that knowledge that despite all you have given, you are never, ever, going to fully grasp the mystery, the poignant impossibility, of your own life. Rembrandt was willing to hold the big questions without having them answered. … He shows us the fullness of our own human condition, the pain along with the beauty, the truth and also the mercy… Rembrandt lived his life according to the promptings of the knowing, intelligent heart… the more we live from that depth, the more we are free to be who we can be, and the more life may open to a greater fullness, ever surprising… Rembrandt knew the redemptive, healing power of art, not just for those who came to his studio still to admire his work, but for his own stricken and grieving soul.”
From: How Rembrandt Reveals Your Beautiful Imperfect Self, Roger Housden
NOVEMBER NOVEL BY ASSIA GREENE
SHASHA C. CROCKETT (pen-name)
Assia wondered how to begin-the ending, that is-to November Novel. She knows these characters have started out steps ahead of her, just beyond her reach. They are pilgrims of a kind. And like the characters in Canterbury Tales-the knight, the miller, the nun, the monk-they’ve lived lives here, on their own, with one another- she, the follower, the observer, the fortunate one, witnessing as best she can. That they play, work, wander and wonder; and welcome new people, characters, into their lives.
When did it happen-? Assia’s November Novel takes on an energy of its own, seeming to write itself. Assia desperately attempts to navigate the explosion of dramatic events that she cannot seem to write her characters through. Fear nearly brings her writing to a stop when danger bodes for a character she does not want to lose. And who is this mysterious one appearing from the myst? As November 30th approaches, with the ending for November Novel near, Assia struggles to find a way to say good-bye . . . How can she let them go?

Take My Hand
SASHA PORTER BLUE (pen-name)
“Through the challenges of divorce, child-rearing, and a search for personal justice, Sasha Porter Blue’s Take My Hand arrives at solid ground and release. By turns witty and wrenching, her writing draws the reader toward a woman who insists on resolution, where the demands of tending to hearts and houses fuels clarity and spiritual growth. Porter Blue’s engaging storytelling relies on her attentive ear, her hungry eye, her open heart. The reader grows to trust Porter Blue’s voice and grows eager to grasp her outstretched hand.”
