Austin Zoot
Collected Writings
My passion has always been storytelling. I love the way that stories bring us together, help us understand one another, and build relationships so that we can be partners in creating the stories that come next. In my work, I try to use words to convey my values to others, and to try to bridge the gap that is so common in our world today. This website is my opportunity to share my various writings with you, in the hopes that we can continue to learn and grow together.
From contemporary culture to ancient traditions, I try to navigate a complex world in search of the best of humanity. Sometimes we're great at building incredible things. Other times, we failed spectactularly. Either way, we have so much to learn from our reality today about what it means to be a human being. And we're here to talk about how we can learn and move forward.
"Surely this Instruction which I enjoin you this day is not so confounding, nor is it beyond your reach...No, this thing is very close to you, in your mouth and in your heart, to maintain it."
