Authors
The writers behind this newsletter.
Sharing my writing, art, and lessons learned on Substack while documenting life’s journey and embracing each moment as it comes.
Obsession--at its best. I write about relationships: with humans, nature and god's animals. The extraordinary, horror and humor. My writing: about living life sensually, transformational relationships and being authentic. Without apologies.
Philosopher-comic hybrid. I dive into truth, mortality, and meaning—then crack a joke about socks and the void. Half deep thinker, half chaos goblin. Serious when it counts, absurd when it helps. Duality is the brand.
I’m Craig Sefa — pastor, teacher, author, and spiritual director. I share reflections on faith, ministry, and life, aiming to inspire deeper thinking and inner transformation. Connect with me at craigsefa.org.
This book is Linda’s first automatic writing experience. It is about her authentic divine Intervention phenomenons, and her channeling the spirit of a profound comic.
