"The idea for Interstice Journal came from a love of humanity. As our society progresses, the things that make us human are slowly being lost. We are no longer creating; we are only consuming what algorithms feed us."

Went Desert Walkabout Met a bird.

David’s voice is soft yet precise. He writes about birds and nature in a way that’s spiritual to me. It lifts me as a human who birds but makes the writer in me jealous. This short meditation on a bird in the desert is worth your time, as are many of David’s essays. #NatureWriting #Birds #CNF

This photo is the beginning of an essay. The text reads "In the summer of 1983, I became a strange kind of Christian. I wasn’t dragged to salvation by pious parents. Instead I third-wheeled my way to Jesus, tagging along as my troubled older brother fell in love with and found meaning in the gospel. I didn’t need salvation as much as I needed a father, and the man who ran the Christian boys home my brother was sent to became one for me. Since he went to church, I did too. It was the price I paid for his guidance and attention – two things I didn’t get much of at home – and the fun things we’d do at the boys home.

That summer, 12-year old me was shaped by two competing yet equally dynamic forces: charismatic Christianity and MTV. At home I spent hours in front of the television watching videos by Duran Duran, David Bowie, and Dexy’s Midnight Runners, while at the boys home we went swimming, played capture the flag, and tried to catch the spirit. I’d watch “Burning Down the House” from Speaking in Tongues by​​ Talking Heads on Friday then literally speak in tongues at a tiny church called Echoes of Faith on Sunday. 

I launched into my teens as two people to varying degrees: holy on the weekends and wholly secular during the week, especially at school, where I was afraid to wear my Christianity on my sleeve, or in Bible verses on my shirt like my brother. He was “born again hard,” but I craved approval and esteem in each world, and often disappointed both. When I got tired of serving two masters, I tried to build a Bifrost, and U2 was part of that bridge."

Almost three weeks ago, I saw a post from @dublinwriter.bsky.social about one "one honest paragraph." I was hitting a bit of a block, and while I haven't quite punched out of it, I did start a new essay. Here are the first few paragraphs from a #WIP, with thanks.

CNF is hard. Especially when it requires being vulnerable.

I’m committed to finishing & submitting it (stretch goals and everything) but there is going to be monster horror and dystopian SciFi for DAYS afterwards.
