My name is Steven Irwin I live in the middle of a large desert encased by tall mountains and buried under the biggest sky. I make music of the folkish variety, I make mix tapes and hide my heart in them, I also write about songs each morning as a form of meditation and creative discipline. This blog is a catchall for other things that catch my attention, there are links listed below to my other projects.

I look like everyone else who is invisible. Not like the homeless woman who sleeps under the tarp out back of Benny’s music shop. She’s not invisible. She’s homeless. You see her and look away. She makes you uncomfortable. She makes you wonder how it feels to sleep on a sidewalk under a tarp in February rain. Or else she makes you frantic, eager to fill your mind with other thoughts – your to-do list, your meeting tomorrow, your kid’s soccer game in the morning.”<br/><br/> - <em><p>(<a href="http://makingmemagazine.com/index.php/2010/02/invisible/" target="_blank">Read More</a>)</p> <p>From the short story, <i>Invisible</i> by Judy Clement Wall</p></em>http://ersatzsmile.com/post/422568901http://ersatzsmile.com/post/422568901Tue, 02 Mar 2010 12:42:44 -0800must readshort storyinvisibleJudy Clement Wall<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kyo2bxLD9q1qzxrjoo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://ersatzsmile.com/post/422355702http://ersatzsmile.com/post/422355702Tue, 02 Mar 2010 10:07:06 -0800““Things don’t exist until we describe them.””<br/><br/> -
