Blog postI’ve never cared much about money. For me, there are so many other delights in life more stable and enduring—family, writing, nature, exercise. But when a check for $150,000, drawn on the account of the royal family in Monaco arrives by overnight FedEx express, it gets my attention.
So, here’s the story. I received a lovely email from Stefano Casiraghi, Jr., grandson of Prince Rainier and Princess Grace (you know, Grace Kelly, the stunning movie star of the 1950s). In his very graciou -
Blog postIn the midst of so many challenges, so many large considerations before us as a nation, I have a reason to celebrate, albeit a selfish one. The paperback edition of This Tender Land, which was released on May 26, debuted on Publishers Weekly’s bestseller list at #3, on the New York Times list at #7, and on the L.A. Times list at #9.
This is the first time any of my paperback editions have been on these bestseller lists. I owe a huge debt of gratitude -
Blog postThe house where my wife and I raised our children, the house my daughter now owns, is three blocks from the epicenter of the rioting and looting that took place in St. Paul last week, an area called Midway. On Thursday night, she called us on the hour to let us know she was fine. Scared, but all right. There were gunshots nearby, strangers roaming the streets, the smell of smoke in the air.
The images on the news were grim and remain grim, but there’s another side to what is occurring -
Blog postIn these dark days of the pandemic, we all need hope. Here’s a story that will warm your hearts, offer you some hope, and maybe even make you believe in miracles.
My daughter Seneca has always opened her heart to the wounded in our world, both human and non-human. She is a marriage and family therapist by vocation, but she also fosters dogs waiting for adoption. Zelda came to her in this way.
Zelda is a mutt. From her skittish behavior when Seneca first took her in, it was cle -
Blog postDuring the current coronavirus, my YMCA has been closed, as it should be. To exercise, I’ve been riding my Trek touring bike a significant distance whenever possible. Often, these rides take me along one of the many wonderful trails that follow the Mississippi River as it meanders through the Twin Cities, separating Saint Paul and ... Read more

Blog postEaster Sunday, and it snowed nearly six inches in Saint Paul.
Mid-April, but it looked more like bleak December.
By late afternoon, I’d been stuck in the house way too long and needed an outing.
I walked to Como Park, not far from my home.
The weather was grim, the low, slate clouds still spitting snow as small and hard as grains of salt.
I didn’t go expecting blossoms and sunshine.
What I discovered were moments of extraordinary revelation comp -
Blog postI’ve driven Interstate 40, which follows historic Route 66, many times. In the Southwest particularly, there are so many abandoned places—old tourist stops, defunct gas stations, sometimes whole towns. I’ve never stopped to investigate these places, but my son has a great interest in doing exactly this. Yesterday, we visited a couple of these abandoned ... Read more

Blog postIn a year dominated by rancorous politics, divided nations, desperate refugees, and a climate morphing monstrously before our eyes, I’ve tried to maintain a sense of hope. I’m not talking about a Pollyanna view that all will be well, but rather a belief that, in the end, the human heart will always bend toward compassion, that what we share in common as human beings will always be greater than what separates us, and that love will always be a more powerful force than fear or hatred in shaping

Blog postA 10th grader in Salmon, Idaho, has honored my work in a way that rivals any honor I’ve ever received. Tasked by the instructor of her AP English class to write a children’s edit of a novel, Eliza Fisher chose Ordinary Grace. Her wonderful translation of the story for a child’s eye and understanding is ... Read more

Blog postI know exactly where I was at 2:00 PM on November 22, 1963: climbing the stairway of Shawnee Middle School, moving between classes. Over the PA system came our principal’s somber voice informing us that President John F. Kennedy had been shot in Dallas, Texas. He asked us to pray for the president. Before the end of that school day, our principal returned to the PA system to deliver the tragic news that the 35th president of the United States was dead. I was in music class. It was the first t
