bio

Author Biography
I’m Doug from the inside out, and these books are a part, but just a part, of me. I’m very independent in thought and action, so a conventional appearance is restful, protective, and a little amusing. I like and respect people with very different views from my own. The Rural Social Justice thread in these books is the armature that gives structure to pieces intended to provoke, inspire and feed the reader’s thinking and imagination. Few people will read them; but it only takes one to make all the difference. I’m not passing a torch — I’m just holding the door. July 31, 2020

The Dog in the Manger

A Dog looking out for its afternoon nap jumped into the Manger of an Ox and lay there cozily upon the straw. But soon the Ox, returning from a day’s hard work, came up to the Manger and wanted to eat some of the straw. The Dog in a rage, being awakened from its slumber, stood up and barked at the Ox, and whenever it came near attempted to bite it. At last the Ox gave up and went away, and the dog went back to sleep. Moral: Aggression wins possession.
