ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king.
Dean Kay and Kelly Gordon
I've been...
a fundamentalist,
an evangelical,
a charismatic,
a prophet,
a poet...
an apostate
a Catholic,
a member of < REDACRED> cult,
a Brethren,
an Assembly of God-ster,
a Lutheran,
an Episcopalian,
a Quaker...
a Catholic again.
Full disclosure: With the exception of the Catholic Church, I did not complete all the requirements for legal membership in most of these organizations. Catholic membership was not a choice and Quakers take anyone in. That said, at least a year of service and deep commitment were given to each. I hope that counts for something.
More significantly, I've been...
a bubble gum scraper
a dairy farmer
a dishwasher
a chaplain
a teacher
a sushi chef
a lunch truck entrepreneur
a mental health counselor
a security guard
a hospice worker
a construction worker
a facilities maintenance engineer
an alarm system installer
an electric bicycle builder
There's a much bigger list of fancy high tech positions but... I don't actually disclose relevant information. Black van pulls up next to the white one, the agencies begin arguing about who gets to take me away. Shouting, even between the three letter agencies - which is always entertaining - makes me dizzy. Most significant thing I've been is a gardener (vegetables and children.)
"Gardener" will look better on a tombstone than "researcher and writer in the fields of extremism, privacy, and transnational manipulation." <Sound of chisels begin to hit stone>
