T.S. Strickland

Hi, I'm T.S. Strickland.

I am a writer, a visionary and a creative professional with high ideals.

I believe in the power of narrative — to engage, to connect, to inspire, and to make life beautiful.

You can learn a bit about me professionally over at LinkedIn or follow what I'm reading and musing about on Twitter.

I listen to a lot of music on Spotify, and document most of my life on Instagram but you can find bits of me all over the Internet.

I'm passionate about swimming, stargazing, beach walking, blues dancing, whiskey drinking, and aimlessly driving about. And, in all that i do, i try strenuously to heed the words of e.e. cummings, who admonished himself:

may my heart always be open to little
birds who are the secrets of living
whatever they sing is better than to know
and if men should not hear them men are old

may my mind stroll about hungry
and fearless and thirsty and supple
for even if it's sunday may i be wrong
for whenever men are right they are not young

and may myself do nothing usefully
and love yourself so more than truly
there's never been quite such a fool who could fail
pulling all the sky over him with one smile

I have a hard time keeping a properly updated blog, so i'm trying to be better on my longform with Medium, but if you ever need more than 140 characters you can always email me.
