Greetings, and welcome to Lightship. Herein you will find a healthy variety of my work as both an artist and a writer. With authenticity at the helm, the things I write about and illustrate come from the heart and are true to my experiences while upright on this spinning sphere. There will be poetry, memoir, fiction, short stories, notes on living, productivity, philosophy, and spirituality. If these things interest you, I’m certain you will find connection and insight here with Lightship.
Thank you for stopping by, Cory
