Pick Up Your Bed and Walk
Rest in power, Reverend Cecil William September 22, 1929 - April 22, 2024
I’m proud to present the first published excerpt from my memoir, Swollen Appetite: tales from the five years spent in 1990s San Francisco when I became an artist and full-blown substance abuser. How timely that a love letter to Reverend Cecil Williams goes live the week he passed away. In my lifetime very few people have led in the service of love and generosity of spirit the way Cecil did. His kindness played a role in saving my life. I’m honored to be able to thank him and the legacy of Glide Memorial in the journal from Yale University, The Perch Volume 7 - SUBSTANCE
