Steven Lee Crozier

Steven Crozier is a retired federal law clerk, and counts as his current interests writing, baseball, movies, sci-fi, and music (listening and playing [percussion]).  He is the author of It's a Selfish Program and Amends, Apologies & the Myths of Forgiveness: A Guide to the Eighth and Ninth Steps, as well as about a half dozen screenplays that will not be coming to a theater near you.  He is happily, gratefully married and lives with his wife in Edmonds, WA.

Steven also wrote the poem on which my podcast’s title is based:

Building from the Bullet Hole

An elk gave his hide

For my drum.

It beats like his heart,

Loud and strong and pure.

At the edge of the circle of hide that became the drum

Is the hole made by the bullet that took his life.

The hide strip that holds the circle to the frame

Passes through that hole, binding the drum together.

I am bound to the Great Hoop

The ties pass through my wound.

I am stretched across the universe

My heart beats with the rhythms of stars and galaxies.

The wound that made me who I thought I was

Connects me to who I really am.
