My soon-to-be-released novel, PIOUS, is about Carpious Mightson, a man who has his share of secrets. Carpious chooses to cling to people and/or their perspectives of him that paint a prettier picture of how he’d rather see himself. We all have a tendency to do that if we’re not careful. It can sometimes be easier to surround ourselves with the noise of busyness and others than to stare into the silent reflection of self. That is, if we’re honest.
“A Mirror is Harder to Hold” by Jon Foreman is one of the tracks from the official PIOUS playlist. Jon penned it precisely with the following words… “It’s not that I”m a stranger to lonely moments. I’ve had my share of those. Please don’t go, please don’t leave me alone. A mirror’s so much harder to hold.”
