I wasn't prepared for David Small.  I hadn't known I was going to find a hero.




David Small-THE VOICE OF THE EYE

This is the only way I could possibly explain...

David wrote and drew to save his life.

Then he spoke about it...

*Your biography becomes your biology.

*Through this intense experience of introspection, I always expected myself to come out of it.

*My story is a story about voicelessness.  My story is a story about having your voice taken away.

*A kid with a mother that doesn't love him or her, lives life with a hole in their heart.

*Life is a shit storm and whit is starts to rain, the only umbrella we have is art.

And then we laughed.  And we sang.  I even told him how I found my own voice.  Then, I fell in the very best kind of love, with David Small.







Monday...Judy Blume.
