Eddie YoungEddie Young is from Nashville, the American cradle of songs filled with despair and agony. Despite his love for the upbeat music of the British Invasion, Hank Williams was bound to find his way in. He's traveled the world and has witnessed the povert of the human condition throughout. After fifteen years of drug addictions in an effort to numb an existential dread, he considered the Christian faith, and particularly its claims that all things were being made new as a way forward. It was as though a veil had been lifted. He spent the next twenty-five years in the pursuit of this hope as a minister in the Christian tradition, and the last ten working for the civil and human rights of the homeless. It was here that he was forced to abandon the narrative of being rewarded with some disembodied afterlife for embracing the despair and agony of this life here and now that in his estimation, was no different than before. He reconsidered the childhood demons who had trained him to dismiss any meaning or purpose to life. It's all been done before, said the dishwasher. Young continues to spend his time among the homeless and considers the plight of the human, and how to embrace the meaninglessness of life, yet find a way to make it worth living. Read More Read Less
