Mystery Writers Revealed!

Dear T’ai Chi Chih Friends,

For the past few years I have submitted prose and poems to Vital Force Journal under various pseudonyms and have now decided to discontinue doing so.

The fictitious names: Yogi Pranananda, Ho Hu Tzu, M. T. Kupper and T. Hart Guy allowed me to express inspired insights through a range of ‘voices’, authoritative, playful and subtle. I reasoned that some readers might better receive my messages if not labeled as “Ridley-isms” of which there are usually adequate doses in any particular issue.

Recently a friend pointed out that these alias’ might deter readers from considering this written sharing to be valid and useful material for contemplation, because the ‘authors’ are unknown. So, beginning with this issue I’m taking credit and assuming responsibility for the various styles of inspired writing which express through me, always with the hope that they are somehow helpful and worthy of your consideration.

In love, Steve
