You Owe It To Yourself

You need to read a series in the Globe and Mail (globeandmail.com), "Boy in the Moon" by Ian Brown who writes about his son Walker.

Brown's work is journalism at its best, documentary writing at its best. The story told is honesty at its best, love at its best, humanity at its best, courage at its best. It is such powerful, overwhelming stuff I can only read small bits of it at a time.

There is lots of it, many words, but all of them beautifully, honestly, superbly placed before us. Wade in, and prepare to be changed. Ignore the video clips that might shorten the journey -- this ain't damn TV, despite Brown's broadcast competencies, this is a story meant for the alchemy of the reading mind.
