Parables of Modern Life

Based on common wisdom, not doctrine, these are parables on contemporary adult topics, such as: the playfulness of sex, the finality of death, and the politics of deception. When we relate to a parable, our lives fill in the specifics. We see in the story how to be more ourselves through the ways of those we find familiar.Topics are explored through the lens of four-letter words, such as what is Good? What is Fair? What is Real? These we use in the everyday. Whether to eat meat, let Billy in our game, stay in this relationship, buy that gal a drink, believe their explanation, purchase that product, tell them what you really want the money for, disclose what they didn't find, pay it forward, accept yourself … .

The parables, in the form of hundred-word stories, explore choices of modern life.
