In this lifetime

We live in the best of times yet the pressure to ignore what we have in favour of what we are told we should have grows inexorably stronger every day.

Recently I have involved myself in a small exercise of dissent. An old run down building stands on a block of land highly prized by the [...]

Unbeknown to me there exists a universe of political bloggers awaiting discovery.

I bet he was a serious young liberal [...]

nothing is

nothing is black and white even these words they have a vague ill-defined edge it sounds so simple but the detail hides another world.

Those who choose stay endure the gifts of nature its bounty there for all to see and sheltered still the cautious horses.

Gathered later a likely crowd spreading cheer and mirth and chips around.

Moments now of moments then.

We pass this way hastily our journeys crazed with shells acquired the soul endures and [...]

Sometimes I want to write

Stilgherrian’s post got me started and I also confess to a hankering to fiddle with bits of gear every now and then.

the hand slowly passed a glass of water was it slow or did time just pause so briefly a swan stops then paddles slowly on the water clothed in golden glows the trees do nothing as winter steals the show.

A passing car broke through reminding me of you and the lines fore wrote now shared

the writing came with ease fed by silence unrelenting a just cause, but undeserving and dutifully ignored
