  20. WRITING AS SERVICE:WRITING AS GARDENING Writing, presenting, and publishing research is a meaningful act of community service. Rather than thinking of composition as a painful duty, we can think of writing as a way as sharing and mentoring others. Abstracts are like seeds, conference presentations are like blossoms, and publications are like delicious fruits. Through writing, we can gather in a harvest of knowledge, truth, wisdom, light, and love.

  21. Publications Popping Up in My CV • I looked into Google and what did I see? • Lots of people quoting little ol’ me. • Google brought me such a nice surprise! • Publications right before my eyes! • I can cut and paste them in my CV! • Citations for productivity! • I really love to share knowledge, truth, and light. • Life-long service happens when we write!
