If you have ever seen a remarkable bird–so remarkable that it practically paralyzed you with fascination–then you will relate to this new essay from the journal Under the Sun. In “The Messenger” I am thinking out loud about the wonder of birds, about God, about aging, about the continued desire for transcendence.

The Messenger
Tim Bascom, Author 
Nothing but love for you, Tim!
Thank you for being my Angel sent to guide me through a turbulent time. You most certainly did not have to accept that challenge. Rebuilding a broken boy suffering from the death of his grandfather. A boy whose world was collapsing around him at every turn. Being told by his grade school teachers, “You’ll never amount to nothin'”. Without Tim stepping into my life, I never would have achieved the successes later on. Like being a part of five state championship teams in high school, or being part of a group currently doing some amazing things and beginning some even more amazing collaborations. I am no longer anonymous. The boy Tim saved is now being seen for his mind. My people all over the planet.
I do not possess the words to express my gratitude.

Tony,
It’s so kind of you to write this note. I have many fond memories from those years. I still need to get down to Pittsburg area for a visit. Feel free to be in touch if you are coming toward Topeka sometime too! tbascom13@gmail.com
