32 Minutes Of Ryan Burch Practicing What He Preaches

Tom Robbins once wrote that there are two kinds of insanities — the essential ones, and the inessential ones. 

“Inessential insanities are a brittle amalgamation of ambition, aggression, and pre-adolescent anxiety – garbage that should have been dumped long ago,” he penned. “Essential insanities are those impulses one instinctively senses are virtuous and correct, even though peers may regard them as coo-coo. Inessential insanities get one in trouble with one’s self. Essential insanities get one in trouble with others. Poetry, the best of it, is concerned with the essential insanities. Journalism is devoted to the inessential.”

Ryan Burch is filled with essential insanities, and the piece of journalism you’re reading right now is not.
