Novelist Online Onpaper offers my thoughts on writing, reading and publishing--and sometimes the world--at the very least on the first of each month and more often by whim. Periodically, I will review novels from the present and the past, published online or on paper. Hopefully, I won't rain on any novelist, especially those seeking their audience without the help of traditional publishers. My novels are available via Kindle, Amazon and Smashwords through my webpage: www.kennethccrowe.com
Graciousness is an addictive quality,
likely acquired at the kitchen table
where decency, compassion, and love
are shared in family conversations
Graciousness isn’t to be measured
In coin, but in the quality of life
for whoever experiences it
practitioner or witness
Graciousness is an antidote
To mindless belligerence
That pollutes the atmosphere
of a room and the entire world
