Paul Stokstad is a work in progress, which has included, and still includes, at various stages of construction, improv theatre, tennis, college teaching, linguistics, musical theatre, disco, stand up comedy, The TM Program, and time spent in the love lost and found. He inherited poetry from his mother and crowd control from his father. Everything else came due to the kindness of former strangers, or he simply made it up. He does put a lot of attention on words, but he is even more fond of silence, and its home in the space that holds all creativity, love and possibility: the now.
