Proof

I've been asked hundreds of times to sign personal copies of Come of Age, and I'm glad to do it. More than glad. I see to it that each inscription is very close to prayer, outright. Not always a prayer for something, mind you. Rarely that. Just as often it is a prayer to...

Thank You – Donations Raised for RAVEN Trust

Thank you to everyone who helped raise $749.70 for RAVEN Trust and their work raising legal defence funds to assist Indigenous Peoples who enforce their rights and title to protect their traditional territories. RAVEN Trust, through their public education programs, collaborates with Indigenous Peoples to eliminate environmental racism and foster a greater understanding of...

Belonging

That’s how you belong—not by finally arriving, but by having longing for arrival quickened, by being willing to long after life by living. - t seems to me that as you get older, you might bear down upon your life and give it the quiet consideration it deserves. Do so, and you could catch...

The Dark Road Heading Out of Town

Matthew Stillman in conversation with Stephen Jenkinson and Gregory Hoskins on the road during the 2018 Nights of Grief & Mystery Tour. Matthew Stillman (MS): So we are sitting here in Kripalu on our way to Turners Falls for the next show. You both have traveled from Winnipeg all the way west across Canada. You have...

Long Enough for Ordinary

I have lived long enough ... No. You don't want to leave a sentence like that, sitting all by itself, without a back end. Unless you really mean that you have indeed - as of that moment - lived long enough (and writing it down in an email seems a lurid anti-climax to the allotment),...

They used to be called' records’. It's old-timey. It has a good sound to it. A record, a sign that something happened, proof, a faithful witness: These stories and songs were recorded live on tours of Australia, New Zealand, Wales and England in early 2017. Concerts for Turbulent Times they surely were, sonorous hours and...

Interview: Sanity and Soul – A Conversation with Stephen Jenkinson Facilitated by Vera de Chalambert

Dying well is not a matter of enlightened self-interest or personal preference. Dying well must become an obligation that living people and dying people owe to each other and to those to come. Dying could be and must be the fullest expression and incarnation of what you’ve learned by living. If you love somebody,...

Press Record

They used to call them ‘records’. I still call them records. People concerned with my cultural literacy gently recommend that I should use the word ‘cd’. It isn’t a word. I can tell that it isn’t a word, and so can you. It’s like ‘esso’, or ‘sunoco’: They told you it was a word...

Wonder for the Road

There are days that come - and surely they have found you - when assuredness about the aim and the reasons for your life is the first casualty of the giddy good fortune of awakening again and heaving to uprightness and bringing anything in particular to mind. You are suddenly awash in wonder at...

Bold

One of the things that seemed to concern my mother during her parenting years was the danger of rearing children who turned out 'bold'. That was the darkening term, as I recall. 'Don't be bold': she didn't say it more than a few times, but the caveat was thoroughly practiced, and I recall it...
