Words are a universal currency. And yet for something so abundant, so ubiquitous, the written word is to many of us deeply personal and experiential. When we read, we enter into a world/conversation/insight that no one else has to be present for it to exist. Ideas are born, debates start, and inside jokes are confided, all within the privacy of our own minds. What a brilliant thing. 

​

For decades, Jay Webster has enticed some of those conversations with columns, scripts, and books. Often funny and entertaining, his offerings are always honest and revealing.​  They stem from the belief that art has the power to bypass the brain and get straight to the heart. The brain will eventually catch up, but all too often, it gets in the way at first. (A few of Jay's columns below.) 

 

You can also find a collection of his writings in his latest book, YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE TO READ THIS,  an insightfully entertaining collection of columns, musings, and mostly true memories.
