I've just discovered that author Stephen Payseur is using the name of this blog, Lessons From The Creek, for a book he wrote in 2013. That's fine, I suppose. I did not copyright "Lessons From The Creek" when I created it in 1999. However, there is one thing I must clarify.My Lessons From The Creek is thoroughly secular. I have never introduced religion in my writing. Nor do I intend to. I write of nature and the inspiration that comes from the natural world. According to one reviewer, Mr Payseur's book gives "readers gentle encouragement toward Christian growth."
Please, please, do not mistake my writings for something religious. Mr Payseur and I are not at all aligned. My opinion is that religion, and especially Christian religion, keeps us from knowing ourselves. And further, as a woman, I find religion most often oppressive, limiting and dangerous to my life and livelihood.
Have a wonderful holiday season.
